Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized roots Lotus root
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the lotus roots and slice them into thin, even slices, about 1/8 of an inch thick. A mandolin slicer works well for this.
Step 3
Place the lotus root slices in a bowl of cold water for around 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Step 5
Add the dried lotus root slices to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until each slice is well-coated.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned lotus root slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they do not overlap, to ensure even crisping.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, carefully turn each chip over using tongs or a spatula.
Step 8
Continue to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 9
Once done, remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, which will help them crisp up further.
Step 10
Serve the sugar-free crispy lotus root chips immediately or store them in an airtight container once completely cooled.
