It might not be as fun as having a surplus of leftover chocolate lying around, but having extra veggies in your pantry doesn’t have to be a telltale sign that a weekend of canning is in your future. And you can ditch the vegetable stew idea (it’s almost summer). There is a way easier and interesting way to utilize your vegetables that even your kids will love. Do what everyone else does with healthy foods: turn them into sinful snacks! Sinful tasting, that is. Here are 7 vegetables that make excellent chips.
Beets
The worst part about making beet chips is that they turn your hands purple. Outside of that, it’s basically a slice and bake game. Here’s what we all look like when we try to make beet chips for the first time.
Kale
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the stems from the kale and tear the leaves into chip size pieces. Put the leaves in a bowl and add some oil to coat (about 2 Tbsp). Massage the oil into the kale. Add whatever spices you’d like (salt, pepper, cayenne, nutritional yeast, etc).
