Healthy eating isn’t about deprivation or restriction – you can still have chips and dip on a Friday night! Just sub out traditional potato chips for these super crispy carrot and parsnip wedges. Add a side of guacamole and you have a healthy and even tastier dinner side or snack!
1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
2. Cut carrots and parsnips into chip shapes and arrange on a baking tray.
3. Drizzle olive oil over chips and toss to coat.
4. Sprinkle Za’atar spice (or Herbamare) over carrots and rosemary springs over parsnip.
5. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place in oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, until crispy.
6. To make Avocado dip. Place avocado in bowl. Using a fork, mash until smooth.
7. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper. Chilli flakes are optional, but very much recommended.
8. Remove chips from oven, assemble on a platter with avocado dip and enjoy!
I hope you give these delicious healthy chips and dip a try! And if you do, be sure to tag the picture #AVogelRecipes on Pinterest so we can see :)
