Ingredients

  • 1 large Golden Beetroot
  • 1 large Beetroot
  • 1 large Zucchini
  • 1 large Carrot
  • 1 small Sweet Potato
  • 1 small Rutabaga (or turnip)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 spray of oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Step 2: Slice all the vegetables into uniformly thin slices using a knife or mandoline. In a bowl, gently toss them with the oil spray, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the slices on a baking pan lined with parchment paper, making sure they don’t overlap. Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F.
  4. Step 4: Flip the slices carefully and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes. Watch closely and remove any slices that brown earlier to avoid burning. The chips should be crispy and slightly browned.
  5. Step 5: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin slices to ensure even baking and crispiness.
  • Try seasoning with different spices like smoked paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer less oil, you can skip the oil spray, but a light coating helps the seasoning stick and promotes crispness.

Storage

Store leftover veggie chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh, as they may lose crispness over time. To re-crisp, you can briefly bake them again in a hot oven for a few minutes.

FAQs

Can I use other vegetables besides those listed?

Yes, you can substitute or add other firm vegetables like sweet potatoes, parsnips, or radishes. Just ensure they are sliced thinly and baked until crispy.

How do I prevent the chips from getting soggy?

Make sure to slice the veggies uniformly thin and avoid overcrowding the baking pan. Baking at a high temperature and flipping halfway helps them crisp up evenly.
