Homemade Vegetable Crisps

Vegan Vegetable Crisps Recipe

You really can’t beat homemade vegetable crisps! We use an array of veggies and spices to make the perfect DIY snack.

  • The trick to homemade vegetable crisps is using a mandolin to slice the vegetables as thinly as possible. The thinner the slices, the crispier your crisps will be!
  • The vegetables will cook at different speeds, so keep an eye on the crisps while they’re in the oven and remove any that look like they might be about to burn.
Vegan Vegetable Crisps Recipe

Homemade Vegetable Crisps

Serves: 2 people Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 40-50 minutes 40-50 minutes
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

  • 1/2 sweet potato
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 parsnip
  • 1/2 beetroot
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika

Method

  1. Use a mandolin to thinly slice the vegetables (approx. 2mm thick), making sure you use a safety handle. 
  2. Preheat the oven to 140°C fan / 325°F and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  3. Place the vegetable slices in a mixing bowl and drizzle over the olive oil, then add all the remaining seasoning and spices.
  4. Give everything a good mix, making sure all the vegetable slices are separated and coated with the seasoning. Transfer to the baking tray, making sure the slices don't overlap (note: you might need to use two or three trays, depending on their size).
  5. Place in the oven for approximately 40–50 minutes, checking after 25 minutes and removing any crisps that are already cooked. The beetroot will be the last vegetable ready (it tends to take 20 minutes longer than the other vegetables).

You can use any root vegetables.

Reply
Roxy August 24, 2016 - 10:27 pm

Yep, any root vegetables will work. Just keep an eye on the vegetables when they are cooking because they will cook at different times! Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan).

Hi Debbie! We use a mandolin from OXO. Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan).

Dangerous brand! Buy one that comes with a guard (First time I used a mandolin, I didn’t use the supplied guard and I sliced off the tips of 3 fingers – ouch!)

What is nutritional yeast?

Reply
Roxy (So Vegan) August 25, 2016 - 5:39 pm

It’s deactivated yeast that comes in the form of yellow flakes. It’s great for adding a cheesy flavour to dishes- sometimes I just sprinkle a little on my meal. Some brands are fortified with B12 so I always go for those.

I use Nutritional Yeast on my popcorn. I have been doing that for 40 years and it is wonder full awesome flavor and you can get rid of the salt. Cheers Eddie

Nutritional yeast is a complete protein, meaning that among the 18 amino acids it contains, nine are essential ones that your body cannot produce. Nutritional yeast also provides the compounds beta-1,3 glucan, trehalose, mannan and glutathione, which are associated with enhanced immunity, reduced cholesterol levels and cancer prevention. You get a significant dose of the minerals iron, selenium and zinc when you consume nutritional yeast as well and one serving of nutritional yeast provides about four grams of fiber.

Nutritional yeast is a source of B vitamins, including thiamine, folate, B-6 and niacin. Just a half tablespoon of some brands will provide you with a day’s worth of B vitamins, while other brands offer between 30 and 100 percent of B vitamins. These vitamins help you extract the energy from food and produce red blood cells. Many types of nutritional yeast are also fortified with vitamin B-12, which is usually found exclusively in animal products.

“Nutritional yeast is a plant-based source of protein, making it a staple in many vegan kitchens,” “The protein and fiber content promote satiety at meals and the B vitamins help in energy production.

Could I leave out the nutritional yeast? I just don’t have it on hand. What’s the impact of omitting?

Reply

i made them with only salt, pepper, paprika…..why the yeast?

Reply
Roxy June 5, 2017 - 10:41 pm

Hi Amy and Elisabetta, the nutritional yeast adds a tangy / cheesy flavour but you can leave it out if you’d rather. Take care, Roxy (So Vegan)

Hi! I tried these crispies, but they ended up oily and soggy, not crisp at all. I was particular with the instructions…what might have gone wrong?

Reply
Roxy September 21, 2016 - 6:07 pm

Sounds like they may have needed a bit longer in the oven. The baking time for each vegetable is quite different. I tend to keep a big eye on them and pull them out as and when they crips up. Roxy (So Vegan)

Genevieve October 1, 2016 - 2:43 pm

Are the beets cooked? Thanks!

Sylvie November 29, 2016 - 11:58 pm

This looks so good! I will make some tonight… Do not have parsnip but I have everything else. I can always add a regular potato or another carrot. and the nutrional yeast will give a a bit of cheesy taste…

“Nutritional yeast is a plant-based source of protein, making it a staple in many vegan kitchens,” “The protein and fiber content promote satiety at meals and the B vitamins help in energy production.

The “cheesy” flavor of nutritional yeast makes it the perfect addition to pasta dishes. You can also add nutritional yeast raw to smoothies or salads, or sprinkle it over popcorn, stir into soup or toss into pasta. Because of its described flavor, nutritional yeast is often used as a replacement for cheese to create vegan dishes such as nacho dip and mac ‘n’ cheese.

Hi Roxy,
Thanks for sharing! How thin did you slice the veg (in mm)? And do you may know if I can use a gas oven? (my first trial was a fail, I had roasted veg even after 2 hours). Thanks in advance

140 C = 285 F… so I would think 275 – 300 F — That’s considered “Low and Slow”.
