So you cook them in the OVEN?  Tried to make beetroot chips but they were a bit soggy and chewy.  Will try the oven mehtod.  How long do you leavethem in for and what temp?

and do you take out the woody bit in the middle? so they're more like polo mints than crisps?

[THE DOG]

Still luaghing at the polo parsnip  ;D

For the healthier option i pour a little olive oil over the thinly sliced parsnips and place them on a baking tray for 15 mins approx, then add sea salt (in abundence) and eat. How did i forget the black pepper? thats the missing link thankyou. To avoid the polo  ;D i peel long ways and disregard the wood, but the polos sound mint ;D

Just to add 180c

I do mine in hot oil in  a fryer along with carrot, beet and sweet potato, sprinkle them with spices when they come out if you wish.. I would use what you call American chip spice in the fish and chip shops.. although it is not used in the US!!

Love 'em

Me mam made them once in the oven.

They was horrible and she gave me loads to take home.

With me mother you only got given what she did not want. She gave me loads.

They went into the compost .

As I consider my worms as part of the family I told me mother that the family loved them.

I never lied to me mother.

I make them in the oven-secret is to slice them really thinly- I just wipe the oven tray with oil then wipe the slices over back and front, sprinkle with salt, and bake along with the rest of the Sunday dinner.  I love the dark brown chewy edges!
The turnip was a nice white variety (no name-seeds from WORKS) and I dug them up in the summer when they were small and tender.  I don't really like turnip, but I love the crisps!
