Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lotus root
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
Instructions
Rinse and peel the lotus root. Slice it into thin rounds, about 2-3 mm thick. For uniform slices, use a mandolin slicer.
Place the lotus root slices into a bowl of cold water to prevent browning. Let them soak for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and low sodium soy sauce. Mix well to form a seasoning paste.
Add the dried lotus root slices to the bowl of seasoning and toss to ensure each slice is evenly coated with the mixture.
Arrange the seasoned lotus root slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the lotus root chips are golden brown and crispy. Flip the chips halfway through baking to ensure even crispiness.
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up slightly as they cool.
Serve the chips as a delicious, low sodium snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
