Carrot Chips is a common term for carrots that have been fried or dehydrated. Some carrot manufacturers also refer to bagged, sliced carrots as carrot chips. The fried version of carrot chips is often referred to as carrot fries, especially when the chips are made in the shape of french fries. Fried carrot chips have an oil content of 35-40%. Carrot chips are considered a healthy alternative for potato chips, as the two items have similar consistencies and uses.
