Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes sliced thinly
  • 2 medium zucchini sliced thinly and salted
  • 2 medium beets peeled and sliced thinly
  • 2 medium carrots sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for tossing and coating
  • to taste sea salt for sprinkling after baking
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika optional for flavor

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mandoline or sharp knife
  • Pastry brush or spray bottle
  • Cooling Rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, thinly slice all the vegetables to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick for even crisping.
  3. Place the zucchini slices in a bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and let sit for 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  4. In a large bowl, toss all the vegetable slices with olive oil until evenly coated, then sprinkle smoked paprika if using.
  5. Spread the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap for maximum crispness.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, checking around the 12-minute mark. The chips should turn golden at the edges and become crispy.
  7. Once baked, transfer the chips to a cooling rack and let them cool for 5 minutes. This helps them crisp up further and prevents sogginess.
  8. Sprinkle with a little sea salt to taste and serve immediately for the best crunch and flavor.

Notes

For extra flavor, experiment with different spices like cumin or chili powder. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days and re-crisp in the oven if needed.
