Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium rutabagas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon BBQ seasoning
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- Wash the rutabagas thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them completely dry using clean kitchen towels or paper towels.
- Using a sharp mandoline slicer or a very sharp knife, carefully slice the rutabagas into thin, uniform rounds approximately 1/8 inch thick. Consistent thickness ensures even cooking.
- Place the rutabaga slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the slices and sprinkle BBQ seasoning and salt. Gently toss the slices to ensure they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
- Arrange the seasoned rutabaga slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure the slices do not overlap. This allows for proper air circulation and crisp edges.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through cooking time to ensure even browning and crispness.
- Remove from oven when chips are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow them to become extra crisp.
- Transfer chips to a wire rack or serving platter. Allow to cool completely before serving. Chips will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Tips
- Slice Consistency is Key: Use a mandoline slicer for uniform, thin slices to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Don't Overcrowd: Spread chips in a single layer with space between them to allow proper air circulation and achieve that perfect crunch.
- Seasoning Hack: For extra flavor, experiment with different BBQ seasonings or create your own custom spice blend.
- Watch Carefully: Keep an eye on the chips during the last 5-10 minutes of baking to prevent burning, as they can quickly go from crispy to burnt.
- Cooling Technique: Let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispness - patience is your secret weapon!
- Storage Tip: Store cooled chips in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness for up to 2-3 days.
