Preparation and Cooking Time
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 large beetroot
- 1 large parsnip
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wash and Peel the sweet potato, beetroot, and parsnip. Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to slice them into thin, even rounds.
- Combine the sliced vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange the vegetable slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure they do not overlap to allow even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the crisps are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Additional Notes
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix. You can also experiment with other root vegetables like carrots or turnips for different flavors and textures.
