What You’ll Need
Ingredients
(Makes 4 servings)
| Quantity | Ingredient | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 lb | Fresh radishes | Pick firm, smooth ones |
| 2 tbsp | Olive oil | Melted coconut oil works too |
| 1 tsp | Garlic powder | Swap with paprika for smoky flavor |
| 1/2 tsp | Sea salt | Reduce if using seasoned salts |
| 1/4 tsp | Black pepper | Optional for spicy fans |
Tools
- Sharp knife (or mandolin slicer for thin chips)
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper (prevents sticking!)
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prep Your Radishes
Pro Tip: Wash them well—radishes often have dirt in their crevices!
- Trim the ends with a knife
- Slice thinly (1/8 inch thick)
- Too thick? They’ll be soft, not crispy!
- Too thin? They might burn. Aim for coin shapes!
2. Season Like a Pro
Fun fact: Oil helps the spices stick AND makes them crispy!
- In a bowl, mix radish slices with olive oil
- Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper
- Toss gently (use your hands for even coating!)
3. Bake to Perfection
Oven settings:
- Temperature: 400°F (200°C)
- Time: 15-20 minutes
| Stage | What to Do | Visual Cue |
|---|---|---|
| First 10 mins | Bake undisturbed | Edges start to curl |
| Last 5-10 mins | Flip chips & watch closely | Golden brown with dark spots |
Air fryer shortcut: Cook at 390°F for 12-15 minutes (no flipping needed!)
Troubleshooting Tips
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Chips are soggy | Pat radishes dry before oiling |
| Chips burn quickly | Lower oven temp to 375°F |
| Not crispy enough | Bake 5 mins longer (check every 2 mins!) |
