Ingredients
- 500 grams Lotus root
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and peel the lotus root. Slice it into thin rounds, about 2-3 mm thick. For uniform slices, use a mandolin slicer.
Step 2
Place the lotus root slices into a bowl of cold water to prevent browning. Let them soak for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and low sodium soy sauce. Mix well to form a seasoning paste.
Step 5
Add the dried lotus root slices to the bowl of seasoning and toss to ensure each slice is evenly coated with the mixture.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned lotus root slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the lotus root chips are golden brown and crispy. Flip the chips halfway through baking to ensure even crispiness.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up slightly as they cool.
Step 9
Serve the chips as a delicious, low sodium snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
