This clever method takes a humble carrot and turns it into savory, smoky, chewy-crisp “bacon.” You’ll want to cut the carrot using a vegetable peeler that allows for slightly thicker ribbons than you might use in, say, a tender salad (paper-thin ribbons are likely to burn). A Y-peeler tends to work best, especially when you apply a little pressure as you slide it down the carrot. The slices will crisp up as they cool, but they won’t be shatteringly crunchy. Some pieces will be a little chewier, some a little crispier, and all will be a whole lot of delicious.
