Purple Daikon Chips
Cooking is such an artistic experience, especially when you have the time to appreciate the quality and beauty of each ingredient. Here at the farm, we are thrilled this beautiful root vegetable thrives for our customers to enjoy.
Purple Daikon radishes have a wonderfully crunchy texture and spicy taste. Their zesty flavor is evident in salads, but not overwhelming. Roasting them takes away the spicy bite that raw radishes often have, making them sweet and delectable. Our favorite purple daikon recipe that we’re sharing this week is purple daikon chips! A healthy low-carb option for your snacking regimen, these chips will surely please your palate! Purple daikons can be found at your local farmer’s markets and in this week’s CSA box.
Purple Daikon Chips
- Wash and thinly slice 2-3 purple daikon radishes (a mandolin works best for this part)
you’ll want to cut your radishes really thin, almost see through, to get the right texture and consistency
- coat your slices with 3 teaspoons of olive oil, and add salt and pepper to taste
- lay the slices down evenly spaced on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil
- then bake at 375 degrees for 7-10 minutes on each side until they reach a nice crisp and golden brown color.
Cooking times vary depending on how thin your radish slices are, so watch them carefully!
** STORAGE TIP: To store this beautiful root vegetable, we recommend rinsing them, then placing them in a plastic bag or container with a paper towel in the fridge.
