Baked Parsnip Chips

Baked Parsnip Chips are paleo and similar to potato chips.

Baked Parsnip Chips are paleo, vegan and actually taste very good! A shocking discovery to me, as I don't really enjoy most root vegetables.

A good friend of mine introduced me to this organic brand of parsnip chips at a gourmet grocery store. I had told her that I really don't like root vegetables, and she assured me that these were excellent.

They were delicious, although made with an oil that I don't think is very healthy. As it turned out, the store either stopped carrying them or could not order them anymore. So, I was forced to make my own. Just as well, since I can make mine with a better oil choice and try baking them instead.

Although, you could deep fry these as well. I don't have a deep fryer, so I baked them in avocado oil with sea salt, but you can fry these in a deep fryer as well. I still can't believe these parsnips are so tasty! Be sure to use a  Mandolin Slicer on thin or a vegetable peeler to get the slices thin enough, or they won't get crisp in the oven.

Don't use a knife like in the photo. The parsnip just looked so bland without a kitchen tool and the mandolin slicer would not fit in the picture frame.

Slice the parsnips thin with a mandolin slicer or vegetable peeler.

Chips should be browned and crisp after baking.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 cups thin sliced parsnips use a mandolin slicer or vegetable peeler ( about 2 whole medium parsnips)
• 3 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
• 2 teaspoon sea salt or more to taste

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 425 F and line 2 baking sheets.
• Use a mandolin slicer or vegetable peeler to slice the the parsnips into thin slices.
• In a large bowl combine: parsnip slices, avocado oil and sea salt. Toss with spoon to coat in oil and salt.
• Place parsnip slices onto lined baking sheets. Bake each sheet of chips, one at a time, for 12 to 20 minutes or more until browned and crisp. Check at 10 minutes and if they are still soft then continue baking. Once browned and crisp let cool a little to dry out. If they are still soft then they need to bake a little longer. Bake the second sheet after the first is done. Add more salt to taste if desired. Or you can deep fry these in oil according to fryer instructions.
