Food product made of carrots and particularly adapted for use as a snack food item, and a process for making the same. Carrots (12), preferably of large diameter, are cross-cut into slices (16) of approximately 0.04- - 0.08-inch-thickness and the slices (16) are immersion-fried for approximately 1 - 2 minutes in a bath (48) of a suitable edible oil of 300 - 400`F temperature. The resulting fried carrot chips (14) have a very palatable taste, crispy texture and substantially indefinite shelf-life. |
