Ingredients
- 2 pieces lotus root
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the lotus root with a vegetable peeler, then slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform thickness.
Step 3
Place the lotus root slices in a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry thoroughly with clean kitchen towels.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss the lotus root slices in the seasoned oil ensuring each slice is well-coated.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned lotus root slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning the chips halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, as they will continue to crisp as they cool.
Step 8
Serve immediately for the best texture or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
