Baked Turnip Chips (closest I can get to potato chips…)

These are a great snack! I am definitely having trouble findings decent foods I can snack on with the diet, and these do the trick.

Ingredients
– 1-2 turnips, peeled (you can use as many as you want really)
– ~ 2 tbsp olive oil – just use enough lightly coat turnips
– spices of your choice to taste (recommend black pepper, salt, cayenne and cumin – but the options here are endless)

Steps
– preheat oven to approx 350 F
– peel turnips
– using a mandoline, slice the turnips thinly (the thinner, the more crunchy they get, but also can burn easily) – important all are cut to uniform thickness
– place sliced turnips into mixing bowl, and pour oil over – mixing gently to ensure all turnip slices are coated lightly
– mix in spice blend of your choice
– place on cookie sheet with no overlapping and place in preheated oven
– after about 10 mins (keep a close eye on it) – flip over chips when edges start to brown
– after another 10 mins or so (again – watch closely, can crisp quickly, then burn)

Enjoy!

Thanks cjtboy!
I just bought some fresh Alaskan turnips that are sooo sweet. I like just eating them raw but some “chips” sound delicious!

Sounds fabulous–I made zucchini chips recently and was surprised at how delicious they are! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
