Delicious Brinjal and Beetroot Chips: Easy Homemade Recipe

If you're looking for a healthy and delicious snack, brinjal and beetroot chips are a perfect choice! These crispy chips are easy to make at home and are a great alternative to store-bought snacks. Let's dive into this simple and tasty recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 large brinjal (eggplant)

• 2 medium beetroots

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt to taste

• Black pepper to taste

• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

• Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash the brinjal and beetroots thoroughly. Peel the beetroots and leave the skin on the brinjal if you prefer. Slice both the brinjal and beetroots into thin, even rounds. Using a mandoline slicer can make this step easier and ensure uniformity.

3. Season the Slices: Place the slices in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, and any additional spices like paprika or garlic powder. Toss to coat the slices evenly.

4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the brinjal and beetroot slices in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they don't overlap.

5. Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chips are crispy and slightly golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, especially the thinner slices which can cook faster.

6. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This will help them crisp up even more. Once cooled, transfer the chips to a serving bowl.

7. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle some fresh herbs over the chips for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

Tips:

• Even Slices: Make sure all the slices are of even thickness to ensure they cook uniformly.

• Experiment with Spices: Feel free to experiment with different spices and herbs to suit your taste preferences.

• Storage: Store any leftover chips in an airtight container to keep them crispy.

Enjoy your homemade brinjal and beetroot chips as a healthy snack or a side dish. They are perfect for satisfying your cravings without the guilt! 😊
