Crispy Parsnip Chips
These lightly-salted baked chips are a wonderful afternoon snack!
Ingredients:
½ pound parsnips, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sea salt
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 300°.
2. Using a vegetable peeler, peel parsnips into long, very thin strips. Place strips in a bowl and toss with olive oil and salt. Lay parsnip strips on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until parsnip strips are crispy and golden brown. Allow strips to cool on baking sheets before removing.
