Make Your Own Veggie Chips

Published on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, by Christine Gallary / Edit Post

Here's the thing: Vegetable chips just taste better than potato chips. This is not a subjective call. It's proven. (Not really, but we all agree, so let's say it is.) Forget all your preconceptions about vegetable chips being just a tasteless, soulless attempt to convince your brain that you're eating fatty, carby potato chips. It's much easier to convince your brain that you're eating something delicious. Because you are.

That said, don't buy veggie chips in a store. Commercial versions are often deep-fried and no more healthy than their potato or corn brethren. And you want your deliciousness to come with a healthy glow, right? The good news: Veggie chips are very easily made in your very own oven. Peel, slice, and bake. Dip and eat. Done.

  • Sounds very good I am going to try the different ones

  • I would think that beet chips could be made just like the taro or sweet potato chips--just watch the timing. How about a bleu cheese/walnut dip to go with them? Classic combo!

  • these chips definitely needs to be eaten. Super love it

  • Any veggie chips recipes to share?

  • how do you make beet chips? do you have a spread that goes with it? i grow myown beets.

  • Wow these look delicious! I've never seen carrot chips before, those look really fun. I like how you paired each one with a dip too! I'll have to try making my own sometime, the ones at the store are so expensive!

    BTW - I second the beets comment, beet chips really are super tasty and they're so pretty, especially the candy striped ones!

  • You know a potato is a vegetable right?

  • YOU FORGOT BEETS!!! Beet chips are the most delicious flavor that ever has been or ever will be. Has anyone baked beet chips yet? Def. need a decent mandoline...
