Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized roots lotus root
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the lotus roots and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for even thickness if available.
Place the sliced lotus roots in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 5 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Add the dried lotus root slices and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning mix.
Arrange the seasoned lotus root slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they do not overlap to allow even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through baking. Keep an eye on them during the last 5 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Transfer the lotus root chips to a serving bowl and enjoy as a healthy, nut-free snack.
