Snack Recipe: Radish Chips.
What you need:
- 1 bundle of radishes (8-10 radishes)
- Sea Salt
- Pepper
What to do:
- Heat oven to 375º. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (to eliminate the need for oil, though you COULD use melted coconut oil to grease the pan with).
- Rinse radishes and trim tops and tails. Thinly slice each radish.
- Dry off the slices by laying them out on 2 layers of paper towels, just to remove excess moisture.
- Lay out in a single layer (some overlap is okay) on the parchment lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle to taste with sea salt, pepper, or your own seasonings!
- Bake for 10 minutes, then shuffle them around the pan a bit if you can, and flip what you can, too (for more even baking and more crispiness).
- Bake for 6-10 more minutes, checking every 2 minutes or so to avoid burning.
- Remove from the oven and enjoy warm!
