Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 medium beet
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium carrot
Seasonings
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
- Optional: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare Vegetables: Wash all vegetables thoroughly and peel any as needed (such as sweet potato and beet) to ensure clean, smooth chips.
- Slice Thinly: Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice each vegetable very thinly and as evenly as possible to ensure uniform cooking.
- Toss with Oil: Place all sliced vegetables in a large bowl and toss with 1½ tablespoons of olive oil until they are lightly and evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheets: Lay the vegetable slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets without overlapping to allow even crisping.
- Season: Sprinkle the slices evenly with sea salt, black pepper if using, and any optional seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning to your taste preference.
- Bake First Side: Place the trays in the oven and bake for 10 minutes to start crisping the chips.
- Flip Chips: Carefully flip the vegetable slices over to ensure even baking and crisping on both sides.
- Bake Second Side: Bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning, until the chips are crisp and lightly browned at the edges.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the chips cool for about 5 minutes on the trays, which will help them crisp fully as they cool down.
Notes
- Different vegetables cook at different rates—check your chips frequently during baking to prevent any from burning.
- For extra crispiness, bake each vegetable type separately on different trays to optimize baking time for each type.
- Store the cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
- If chips soften, re-crisp them by baking in the oven for 3–5 minutes before serving.
