Crafting the Ultimate Oil-Free Vegetable Chips

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400° F/200° C. Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Thoroughly cleanse and scrub the chosen vegetables.
  3. Employ a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to carve thin, 1/6″ slices.
  4. In a spacious bowl, play with the art of seasoning: salt, pepper, thyme, smoked paprika, and a touch of red pepper flakes. Merge these flavors in a joyful toss.
  5. Place the seasoned vegetable slices onto the baking sheets, ensuring a single layer to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Roast the chips for an initial 10 minutes, then turn them over, allowing for another 5-10 minutes of roasting. Exercise vigilance in the final moments to prevent any unwanted crisping!
  7. As they emerge from the oven, grant your vegetable chips a few minutes to cool before savoring the triumph of your creation.

Preservation and Presentation

While these oil-free chips reach their zenith on the day of creation, extend their lifespan by storing leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-6 days—an ideal provision for preplanned meals!

These chips flourish independently or in the company of your favorite accompaniments, such as vegan ranch, beetroot dip, ketchup, or the creamy allure of oil-free vegan sauces.

Allow your baked chips to make merry alongside soups, sandwiches, or even the opulent embrace of a roasted sweet potato salad, a vibrant rainbow Buddha bowl, or a refreshing spinach fig salad!

Exploring the Vegetable Horizon

From sweet potatoes to beets, zucchini, and yellow squash, the vegetable world offers endless possibilities for crafting your own signature baked chips.

Experiment further with white potatoes, kale, parsnips, rutabagas, carrots, or the distinctive character of celery root to experience new dimensions of flavor and color.

Unveiling Creative Seasonings

Elevate your culinary journey with garlic powder and nutritional yeast for a delightful cheesy profile, enhanced with the nuanced contrast of brown sugar for that perfect balance of sweet and savory.

Or venture into realms of flavor with balsamic vinegar, za’atar, chipotle, or the exquisite essence of curry powder.

Delving Deeper into Mastery

To experience a novel texture, soak starchy vegetables in water for 15 minutes—this removes excess starch and introduces a fresh dimension to your chips.

For a store-bought resemblance, a gentle toss in avocado oil prior to baking achieves the desired outcome, perfect for children who require a touch more sustenance in their tummies.

Vigilance is key during baking, especially for water-rich veggies like zucchini, to prevent any untimely crisping.
