Turnip Chips (as seen in Webisode 11)

Recipe adapted from Super Natural Every Day (see "Favorite Books" tab)

Serves 2-4

Ingredients:

4 medium turnips, well scrubbed and thinly sliced

1-2 Tbsp olive oil

¼ tsp fine-grain sea salt

A couple pinches of smoked paprika

Juice from ½ lime

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425˚F with two racks set in the middle of the oven. 

2. Slice the turnips into uniform slices, none any thicker than two credit cards stacked on top of one another.  If you are slicing by hand, cut the turnip in half and rest each half cut side down so they don’t roll around - this makes for easier slicing. 

3. Toss the turnip slices in a large bowl with the olive oil and salt and arrange in a single layer on two baking sheets. 

4. Bake for 12 minutes, check, and then continue to bake until the chips are deeply golden.  It usually takes somewhere between 5 and 15 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the slives. 

5. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with a light dusting of paprika and a small spritz of lime juice, and toss gently.  The chips crisp up a bit as they cool, but they taste great warm.
