Vegetable Crisps

These homemade crispy root vegetable crisps are a simple, delicious way to turn everyday vegetables into a crunchy, golden snack. With just beetroot, carrot, and parsnip, and a touch of sea salt, each slice fries to perfection. Crispy on the outside while retaining a hint of natural sweetness inside. Perfect as a healthy snack, a colorful side, or a garnish.

Ingredients

1 Beetroot
1 Carrot
1 Parsnip
250 ml Oil
½ tbsp Sea salt

Instructions

Step 1

  • Peel the beetroot, carrot, and parsnip. Using a mandolin, slice all vegetables thinly. About 1–2 mm. Place the sliced vegetables in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain well and pat dry with kitchen paper.

Step 2

  • Pour the oil into a deep saucepan or small frying pan. Heat to 170 °C.

Step 3

  • Fry the vegetables in small batches, one type at a time: Carrot and parsnip: 6–8 minutes. Or until golden. Beetroot: 7–10 minutes. Or until golden. Gently stir during cooking to ensure even frying. The slices should be lightly golden and crisp.

Step 4

  • Remove crisps from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Season immediately with the sea salt.

Step 5

  • Repeat for the other sliced vegetables. Allow the oil to return to temperature between batches. Do not leave hot oil unattended.
