Veggie Chips


Ingredients

Moro Pure Spray Primero Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Moro Pure Spray Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil,You can use any of the below vegetables,Beetroot,Carrot,Sweet potato,Eggplant with garlic,Spicy kale

Method

Veggie chippies are great way to add more flavour and nutrients to your eating. And I love making these for family and friends. They’re full of colour and they’re so fun to share with the people you love most! It’s as simple as finely cutting the ingredients up, laying them out on a baking tray and roasting them with your favourite spices. I love to use chilli, lime juice, coriander seeds and sometimes I’m in the mood for fennel seeds, but it’s totally up to you. You can just go for a simple rock salt and pepper combo. Then just give a generous spray of Moro Pure Spray Primero Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
The cooking time depends on the size of your batch and the thickness of your chippies. I cut them super fine and they only take 10-15 mins. Give them a whirl, they make a great addition to dips, a side to meals and even add that little bit of extra crunch to a salad!
