Parsnip Chips

Ingredients

• 2 large Parsnips
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast (optional)
• 1 spray Avocado oil spray

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Wash and peel the parsnips. Trim off the ends.

3. 3

   Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, thinly slice the parsnips into rounds, about 1/16 inch thick. Consistency is key for even cooking.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, toss the parsnip slices with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, and cayenne pepper (if using). Add nutritional yeast if desired.

5. 5

   Spray the parchment paper with avocado oil to prevent sticking.

6. 6

   Arrange the parsnip slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap. You may need to bake in batches.

7. 7

   Bake for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the parsnip chips are golden brown and crispy. Watch them carefully to prevent burning.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.
