Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized roots lotus root
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the lotus root thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel the lotus root with a vegetable peeler until the rough skin is completely removed.
Cut the lotus root into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick, using a sharp knife or a mandolin slicer for uniformity.
Place the lotus root slices into a large bowl of cold water immediately to prevent them from browning. Let them sit for about 5 minutes.
Drain the lotus root slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Add the lotus root slices to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated with the seasoned oil.
Arrange the lotus root slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the lotus root chips are golden brown and crispy. Flip the slices halfway through the baking time to ensure even crispness.
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Serve as a crunchy snack or a side dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
