Black Radish Chips Recipes

BLACK RADISH CHIPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a baking dish (unless it is non-stick).
• Wash and scrub the radishes. Peel them with a vegetable peeler, leaving half of the peel in stripes if desired.
• Slice the radishes thinly -- very thin slices will be more chip-like, slightly thicker slices will be moister -- and put the slices in the baking dish.
• Pour a little olive oil and a little vinegar, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and piment d'Espelette. Toss to coat. Adjust the amounts so all the slices look comfortably dressed, but not drenched.
• Put in the oven to bake for about 20 minutes, until the chips are golden and their edges start to crisp up. Serve warm, as an appetizer or a side.

RADISH CHIPS

Steps:

• In deep fat fryer or heavy saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches oil to 325°F.
• Use mandoline slicer or very sharp knife to cut radishes into very thin slices. Place in 2-quart saucepan, and cover with water. Heat to boiling. Boil over high heat 4 to 5 minutes or until radish slices are translucent and skins are a lighter shade of pink. Drain radish slices in colander.
• Fry radish slices in hot oil in at least 2 batches 8 to 10 minutes or until bubbles have almost completely stopped forming when radish slices are submerged into hot oil. Radish slices will be deep golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels, and season with salt before serving.
