Crisp vegetable chips

Serves 6-8

6 cups (48 fl oz/1.5 L) vegetable oil

3 sweet potatoes (kumaras), peeled

4 potatoes, peeled

4 parsnips, peeled

3 beets (beetroots), peeled

5 teaspoons sea salt or to taste

 

Heat oil in a large, deep, heavy bottomed saucepan or deep-fat fryer until it reaches 375°F (190°C) on a deep-frying thermometer, or until a small cube of bread dropped into the oil sizzles and turns golden. Working with, one vegetable at a time (reserve beets until last as they color the oil red), thinly slice each vegetable using a vegetable peeler or mandoline.

Working with handful-sized batches, add vegetable slices to hot oil and deep-fry until golden, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle the chips liberally with sea salt and serve immediately.

 

Hint

Best prepared and cooked just before serving.
