Root Veggie Chips

This week I made root vegetable chips

It's a super simple recipe  :-)

Ingredients

• 1 medium – sweet potato
• 1 medium – beet
• 1 medium – Rutabagas, raw
• 1 medium – turnips
• 1 medium – parsnips
• 1 tablespoon – olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon – salt

Directions

1. Wash, peel and thinly slice vegetables (to 1/8 inch or thinner).
2. Place all veggie slices in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
3. Arrange slices on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt.
4. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until your veggies are crispy, but not burned!

 Alena is holding a beet. 

 Henry is looking at his veggies...I think he was a little disappointed because it was not bacon.  (When he saw the cookie sheet covered with tinfoil he said, "I know what that is, it's bacon!")

 I am so proud of Alena for taking a bite!  (She thought the reddish stain from the beets was blood. I reassured her that it wasn't.)   

  Raegan liked the veggies alot...She even asked for seconds!!

 I think Annalee was trying to figure out which veggies she had on her plate....Great thinking Anna!

Hayden liked the veggies and asked for more!! 

 Beau and Evelyn were not impressed......
