Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized roots Lotus root
- 0 Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel the lotus roots using a vegetable peeler and wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt.
Step 3
Slice the lotus roots into thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick, using a mandoline slicer for even slices.
Step 4
Place the lotus root slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 5 minutes to remove excess starch. Then, drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 5
Lay the slices out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
Step 6
Lightly spray the lotus root slices with olive oil on both sides. Be cautious not to use too much oil to keep the fat content low.
Step 7
Sprinkle the slices evenly with salt, paprika, and black pepper.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Once done, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. This will help them stay crispy.
Step 10
Serve the lotus root chips as a snack or a crunchy topping for salads and soups.
