These super simple “chips” are a great snack to have on hand all week long. I like to keep a little bag of them at my desk to stave off any afternoon cravings that might come up! They don’t take long to prep, and once you pop them in the dehydrator you have you very own stash of “chips”!
Be prepared, these will shrink in size, but not in flavor!
Ingredients:
4 large parsnips
4 large carrots
juice of 1 lemon
chopped dill, to taste
sea salt & black pepper
Directions:
1.) Wash and peel the parsnips & carrots.
2.) Using a mandolin, slice veggies into thin rings.
3.) Mix carrots and parsnips in a bowl with lemon juice, chopped dill, salt & pepper.
4.) Spread out on dehydrator trays (this doesn’t need to be even, it is OK if they touch each other).
5.) Dehydrate at 115 F/45 C for 8-10 hrs.
Enjoy!
This sounds interesting….will give it a try.
This looks yummy!
Dehydrating is fun!
Can it be done without a dehydrator? I know that works great for ‘raw’… but can it be done in an oven, if it doesn’t get down to 115?
Cool recipe! What if I don’t have a dehydrator? Have you tried making these in the oven?
I make similar chips but do them in the microwave on silpat (a typr of plastic sheet usually used for macaroons. You can do them with potatoes, sweet potatoes actually any root vegies. slice the vegie lay them on the sheet make sure not to overlap and pop in the microwave for between 3-6 minutes. All depends on the microwaves strength and the quantity of chips you are zapping. quick easy delicious and healthy. Taste better than the chips in a packet.
Thanks for all the comments! I’ve never tried these in the oven, but a comment on the facebook wall suggested using the oven at 200 degrees for about 2 hrs. I’d love to hear how they turn out if you give it a go! Enjoy
Jamin, what dehydrator do you recommend?
[...] MARCH 25: Meatless Monday! Try a meatless snack like Carrot & Parsnip “Chips”. [...]
Made similar snack using sweet potatoes, a bit of olive oil, seasoning salt and paprika, mix in a bowl and then in the dehydrator for 6-8 hrs.
Just mixed this up this morning, will try them tonight !
Dehydrators are quite inexpensive. Banana chips are also delicious, much much better than those dried plasticy things they sell in the store.
