Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized roots Lotus root
- Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the lotus roots using a vegetable peeler and wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt.
Slice the lotus roots into thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick, using a mandoline slicer for even slices.
Place the lotus root slices in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 5 minutes to remove excess starch. Then, drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Lay the slices out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
Lightly spray the lotus root slices with olive oil on both sides. Be cautious not to use too much oil to keep the fat content low.
Sprinkle the slices evenly with salt, paprika, and black pepper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. This will help them stay crispy.
Serve the lotus root chips as a snack or a crunchy topping for salads and soups.
