Want a guilt-free snack? Try turnip chips
What's the story
Roasted turnip chips with a hint of rosemary make for a quick and healthy snack. This easy recipe gives you a crunchy, flavorful treat that can be made in minutes. Turnips are a great source of fiber and vitamins, making them an excellent choice for a healthy snack. The addition of rosemary gives the chips an aromatic touch, making them even more delicious.
Tip 1
Selecting fresh turnips
Choosing fresh turnips is the key to making delicious chips. Go for turnips that are firm and free of blemishes or soft spots. Smaller turnips are usually sweeter and more tender than the bigger ones. You can store them in a cool, dry place until you're ready to use them.
Tip 2
Preparing turnips for roasting
To prepare the turnips, wash them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue. Peel the skin with a vegetable peeler, and slice them thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Uniform slices will ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Tip 3
Seasoning with rosemary
Rosemary adds an earthy flavor that pairs well with turnips. Finely chop fresh rosemary leaves and mix them with olive oil, salt, and pepper before tossing it with the sliced turnips. The seasoning should coat each slice evenly without overpowering the natural taste of the vegetable.
Tip 4
Roasting technique for crispiness
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit) for optimal roasting conditions. Spread the seasoned turnip slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Roast for about 15 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
