Makes 1 serving
Ingredients:
- Choice of veggie
- 1/4–1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Cooking spray
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
2. Blot dry, then proceed and lay the slices in a single layer on the baking sheets, coat with cooking spray, and sprinkle with the salt to taste and desired seasonings.
3. Bake, rotating the sheets and swapping positions halfway through, until the edges begin to brown and dry out, 8 to 10 minutes for yucca, 15 to 20 minutes for the others. To test crispiness, let a chip cool on the counter for 30 seconds and taste. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Store the cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
