Mushroom Chips Recipe
Ingredients:
- Fresh mushrooms: 250g (about 9 oz) (shiitake, button, or cremini), thinly sliced
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Salt: to taste
- Pepper: to taste
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs (like thyme or rosemary)
Equipment:
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Oven or dehydrator
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). If you’re using a dehydrator, set it to the manufacturer’s instructions.
-
Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice them as thinly as possible (about 1-2 mm thick). This helps them crisp up in the oven.
-
Season the Mushrooms:
- In a mixing bowl, toss the mushroom slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you like until they are evenly coated.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Spread the mushroom slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
-
Bake:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, flipping the mushrooms halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Once they are done, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. They will become even crispier as they cool.
- Serve as a snack or use as a garnish for soups or salads.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the mushrooms in a mixture of olive oil and your choice of seasonings for 30 minutes before baking.
- If you prefer a deeper crunch, you can use a dehydrator, which may take 4-6 hours depending on the thickness of your slices.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
