Lotus Root Chips
A delicious guilt-free option when craving something crispy!
PREPARATION TIME: 10 MIN COOKING TIME: 30 MIN TOTAL TIME: 40 MIN
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large lotus roots
- about 3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- seasoning of choice - salt, pepper, cayenne, chaat masala, tandoori masala are all some of my favorites... tons of options!
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F
- Cut the ends of the lotus roots & peel the skin off with a peeler
- Make slices 1/8″- 1/4″ thick. A mandoline really comes in handy here!
- Get a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. ・
- Either spray or brush the pan with olive or avocado oil.
- Place slices in a single layer on the baking sheets, brush or spray with more oil, and season with your spices of choice.
- Bake for anywhere from 10-20 minutes and check for ones that are browning rapidly.
- Remove the browned ones and place them on a piece of paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Put the baking sheets back in the oven and repeat the process of checking and removing finished ones at 5-minute intervals.
- The entire process can take 30-45 minutes depending on your oven and how thinly you sliced the lotus root.
- Let cool and enjoy on their own or with dip.
NOTES:
watch these babies carefully, baking time can vary based on the thickness of your chips and on your oven and they burn quite fast.
