How to make

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
  2. Use a mandoline or knife to thinly slice the vegetables to approximately a 2mm thickness.
  3. Toss them together in a bowl with enough oil and seasoning to very lightly cover them.
  4. Spread them all out on a lined baking tray, and bake for 15 minutes, before flipping them and baking for a further 15 minutes.
  5. Keep an eye on the crisps as they cook, as the veggies with a lower water content, like carrots and beetroots, may need removing earlier.
  6. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes before enjoying with your favourite dip.
