Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Prepare the arbi: Wash and peel the colocasia roots (arbi). Using a mandolin slicer, slice the arbi into thin, even slices. This ensures that the chips bake uniformly, achieving the perfect crispness.
-
Season the arbi: In a small mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, amchur (dry mango powder) if using, salt, and black pepper powder. Stir the mixture well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
-
Coat the slices: Place the thinly sliced arbi in a large bowl. Pour the olive oil and spice mixture over the slices. Toss gently to coat each slice evenly with the oil and seasoning.
-
Prepare the baking tray: Line a baking sheet with greased parchment paper to prevent the chips from sticking. Spread the seasoned arbi slices in a single layer on the parchment, ensuring that the slices do not overlap.
-
Bake the chips: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chips begin to crisp up. After the initial baking time, remove the tray from the oven, toss the chips gently, and return them to the oven. Reduce the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the chips are crispy and golden brown.
Tip: Keep an eye on the chips during the final few minutes of baking, as each oven’s temperature can vary, and you want to avoid over-baking.
-
Serve: Once your Savoury Baked Arbi Chips are perfectly crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the chips warm with a delicious dip like Tomato and Sunflower Seed Dip or your favorite choice. These baked chips are perfect for a cloudy evening, offering a crunchy, flavorful snack that both kids and adults will enjoy.
Enjoy your guilt-free snack that’s not only healthy but also full of flavor!
