Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Nutritional yeast
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin slices or wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until the slices are well coated.
Spread the potato slices evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the slices. Continue baking for another 20 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy.
While the chips are baking, prepare the dairy-free cheese sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the nutritional yeast, almond milk, tapioca starch, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Whisk the sauce mixture over medium heat. Continuously stir the sauce until it begins to thicken and becomes smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once the chips are done baking, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Place the baked chips on a serving platter and drizzle with the prepared dairy-free cheese sauce.
Serve immediately while the chips are warm and crispy. Enjoy your Dairy-Free Cheesy Chips!
