- Scrub medium-size carrots, skin on, and dry.
- Toss lightly with oil and salt and place on a parchment lined sheet tray.
- Roast in 325F oven for 45 minutes to an hour. The outside should like wrinkled, caramelized and thin end should feel hollow and the thick end should be fully cooked (soft). If the tip gets crunchy or burnt, just break it off.
- Remove the carrots from the oven, allow to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, season with the ‘bacon salt’ and toss evenly. Place back onto the lined sheet tray in the oven and turn oven off leave the carrots overnight to slowly dehydrate.
- The next day, setup a mini smoker with foil and wood chips. Light your wood chips until a flame holds, allow to burn slightly and then gently extinguish. Cover securely.
- In ten minute, increments, re-light the wood chips 3 more times or until desired smokiness is reached. When carrots are done, remove from the “smoker” and place between two pieces of parchment. With a heavy ‘mallet’ smash the carrots flat.
