Ingredients

• 1 bunch of radishes (about 10-12 radishes)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite seasoning mix

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup or use a non-stick baking sheet.
2. Prepare the radishes:
   • Wash and trim the radishes. Cut off both ends and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will be.
3. Season the radishes:
   • In a medium bowl, toss the radish slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add garlic powder, paprika, or any seasoning of your choice at this stage for extra flavor.
4. Arrange on the baking sheet:
   • Spread the radish slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Try to avoid overlapping the slices to ensure they bake evenly.
5. Bake the chips:
   • Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through. Keep an eye on them towards the end, as radishes can burn quickly. The chips are done when they’re golden and crispy around the edges.
6. Cool and serve:
   • Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once completely cooled.

Servings and Timing

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 20-25 minutes

Variations

• Cheesy radish chips: Sprinkle the chips with grated parmesan or cheddar cheese after baking for a cheesy flavor.
• Spicy radish chips: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicy kick.
• Herb-infused: Toss the chips with dried thyme, rosemary, or oregano for a more herbaceous flavor.
• Sweet radish chips: Add a pinch of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey for a sweet take on radish chips.

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: Store leftover radish chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They are best enjoyed fresh, but they will keep for a little while if stored properly.
• Reheating: To bring back some crispiness, place leftover chips in a single layer on a baking sheet and reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.

FAQs

1. Can I make radish chips in an air fryer?

Yes! Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Place the radish slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, and cook for about 10-15 minutes, shaking halfway through. The chips will be crispy and delicious!

2. Can I use other types of radishes?

Yes, you can use any type of radish for this recipe. However, the classic red radish works best for its mild flavor and texture. Larger radishes, like Daikon, may require longer baking times due to their size.

3. Do I need to peel the radishes?

No, you don’t need to peel the radishes. Just wash them well and trim the ends. The skin adds texture and color to the chips.

4. Can I fry the radish chips instead of baking them?

You can fry the chips, but baking is a healthier option as it uses less oil. If you prefer frying, heat oil in a skillet and fry the radish slices until golden and crispy, then drain them on paper towels.

5. How thin should I slice the radishes?

For the crispiest chips, slice the radishes as thinly as possible, around 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer can help achieve uniform, thin slices.

6. Can I use a different oil for baking?

Yes, you can use other oils like avocado oil, coconut oil, or vegetable oil. Olive oil gives the chips a slightly fruity flavor, but other oils work just as well.

7. Can I make radish chips in advance?

These chips are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store them for a day or two in an airtight container, though they may lose some of their crispness.

8. Can I make a large batch of radish chips?

Yes, you can make a larger batch. Just ensure you have enough space on the baking sheet for the radishes to bake evenly. You may need to bake the chips in batches if you’re making a big quantity.

9. Are radish chips low-carb?

Yes! Radish chips are a great low-carb snack, making them an excellent choice for those following a keto or low-carb diet.

10. How do I know when the chips are done?

Radish chips are done when they are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Keep an eye on them as they bake, as they can go from crispy to burnt quickly.

Radish chips are a fun and healthy alternative to traditional chips, offering a crunchy texture and peppery flavor that’s perfect for snacking.
