Annie the Porcupine's Crunchy Snack Adventures

Annie the Porcupine loves her fruits and veggies. From sweet carrot cake to green bean casserole, she's always munching on something wholesome. But even a veggie-loving porcupine sometimes wants that salty, crunchy snack. Lucky for Annie, she's already experimented with all kinds of crunchy goodies like banana chips and turnip fries, and now she's discovering carrot chips! Carrot Chips: Sweet, Salty, Crunchy Ingredients: • 4–5 large carrots, peeled • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
