Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized roots Lotus root
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the lotus roots and slice them into thin, even slices, about 1/8 of an inch thick. A mandolin slicer works well for this.
Place the lotus root slices in a bowl of cold water for around 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
Add the dried lotus root slices to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until each slice is well-coated.
Arrange the seasoned lotus root slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they do not overlap, to ensure even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, carefully turn each chip over using tongs or a spatula.
Continue to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, which will help them crisp up further.
Serve the sugar-free crispy lotus root chips immediately or store them in an airtight container once completely cooled.
