Sea Salt and Pepper Beet Chips
Trim ends off two washed and thoroughly dried beets (175g each). Using a mandolin, slice each beet 1/16” thick. With paper towel, pat excess moisture off each slice. Set in a bowl and toss with 1 tsp. vegetable oil and with your fingers, toss and coat each slice with a thin film of oil. Divide between two, 18” x 13” non-stick baking sheets, arranging in a single layer, and lightly season with sea salt and black pepper. In a 350˚F oven, roast one sheet a time for 10 minutes. Flip beets and bake 8 to 10 minutes more, or until colour lightens and chips become crisp around the edges (be careful not to burn). Transfer to a wire rack; chips will crisp up as they cool.
Curry-spiced Yam Chips
Trim ends off one washed and thoroughly dried medium to large yam (about 350g). Slice, dry, coat with oil and divide yams between two large non-stick baking sheets as described for the beets. Sprinkle yams lightly with sea salt and curry powder. In a 350˚F oven, roast one sheet a time for 10 minutes. Flip and bake 7 to 9 minutes more, or until colour lightens and chips become crisp around the edges (be careful not to burn). Transfer to a wire rack, let cool and enjoy.
Sesame Chard Chips
Wash and completely dry four very large leaves of chard using a kitchen towel. Remove stems and tough centre rib from each leaf. Tear each leaf into 4” x 2” chips. Set in a bowl and toss with 1 tsp. sesame oil and with your fingers, toss and coat each slice with a thin film of oil. Line two 18” x 13” non-stick baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide chard between the baking sheets, arranging on a single layer, and season with sea salt and sesame seeds, to taste. Roast, one sheet at a time, 10 to 12 minutes, until crispy. Transfer to a wire rack, let cool and enjoy.
