Bonà savoir How to successfully make vegetable chips at home Letting your sweet potatoes soak in cold water is an essential step to remove the excess starch of tubers. It only takes 15 minutes and makes the result much crispier! Besides, this principle also applies to regular potato chips. Also, cook only a small amount of chips at a time to avoid lowering the oil’s temperature. A frying oil below the optimal temperature usually produces an unpleasant, greasy, and less crispy result. Homemade vegetable chips can be made with starchy vegetables such as beets, sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, rutabagas, etc. Vegetables with a high water content (kale, radishes, zucchinis…) can also make chips, but will have to be disgorged before cooking. Plus, these homemade snacks will only be crispy when fresh and will quickly become soft due to room humidity.
