Root vegetable fries

These won´t be as crispy as traditional chips but they are loaded with nutrients as opposed to white potatoes which are mostly starch.

You can use an air fryer, too.

Ingredients:

  • Root vegetables of choice, e.g. sweet potato, beetroot, carrot, parsnip, celeriac

  • Fat of choice, e.g. odourless coconut oil, oliver oil, lard, goose or duck fat

  • Salt

  • Optional herbs and spices, e.g. garlic powder, sweet paprika, smoked paprika

Instructions:

  1. Turn the oven on 180 degrees, fan.

  2. Cut the vegetables into ´fries´ and pat them dry with a paper kitchen towel.

  3. Place the chips in an oven proof dish (I recommend using baking paper too) and coat in the fat of choice. If using a hard oil like coconut oil, you can melt it first or put little chunks of it on the vegetables and wait until it melts before coating the veg evenly.

  4. Sprinkle with salt and other herbs and spices that you may like.

  5. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring twice in between.
