Vegetable chips

Crunchy vegetable chips are addictive with their flavour and colour. Make your own snacks from healthy root vegetables with ease!

Ingredients

carrots

beetroot

parsnips

turnips

a dash of oil

salt

smoked paprika powder

Instructions

Wash the root vegetables and peel if the skin is very thick.

Slice the root vegetables as thinly as possible. An excellent tool for slicing is a handy mandoline.

Swirl the oil into the root vegetables and season with salt and smoked paprika powder. Place the slices side by side on a baking tray on a baking sheet.

Roast the slices in a 125 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Lower the temperature to 75 degrees and dry the chips for another 3-4 hours, until crispy. Keep the oven door slightly ajar to allow air to circulate. If you have a convection oven, you can have several baking trays in the oven at the same time.

Root crisps are delicious nibbled on their own or with a dip.
