Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Lotus root
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Peel the lotus root and slice it into thin rounds, about 1/8th inch thick, using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for consistency.
Place the lotus root slices in a bowl of cold water to prevent discoloration. Let them soak for about 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
After soaking, drain the lotus root slices and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lotus root slices with olive oil. Ensure all slices are coated evenly.
Add sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the bowl. Toss the lotus root slices until they are evenly seasoned.
Arrange the lotus root slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, flip the chips over and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will become crispier as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once completely cooled for a delightful vegan snack.
