What You’ll Need to Make Baked Veggie Chips

  • 1 large sweet potato, thinly sliced
  • 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 beet, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

How to Make Baked Veggie Chips

  1. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the veggies: Wash and peel the sweet potato and beet. Cut all the vegetables into thin slices—use a mandoline if you have one to ensure even slices.
  3. Season the veggies: In a large bowl, toss the veggie slices with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and thyme until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange on the baking sheets: Spread the veggie slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure the slices are not overlapping to ensure they cook evenly.
  5. Bake: Bake the chips for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn, as thinner slices may cook faster.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the chips cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as a snack or with your favorite dip!
