Baked Veggie Chips with Buffalo Chickpea Dip

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cooking Time: 50 mins

Total Time: 1 hour

Preheat your oven to FAN 248F (120C).
Wash the vegetables well and peel them if they are not organic.
Slice all the vegetables thinly with a mandoline. If you slice them thick, they may not get crispy like the chips.
Drizzle little oil on the potatoes as they get crispier with oil. However, avoid adding much oil to the beets, as they get less crispy with more oil you add to them.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread your slices onto it. Avoid overlapping them.
Sprinkle a dash of sea salt and pepper on all of them. Flip and repeat to achieve perfect balance of spices on every side. Also, you may add other spices like garlic powder or paprika if you like the punch.
It is best not to put different varieties of vegetables on one tray as some of them may take longer to cook. Cook potatoes and beets in separate batches.
Bake for 45-55 minutes while flipping them every 15 minutes.
You can lower the heat to 100C if the beets start turning too black quickly.
They will be ready when they are crunchy. To be sure of it, look for their slightly scrunched up corners as they cool down.
They can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for a few days, just like regular chips.

Cooking Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 35 mins

½ teaspoon onion powder

Firstly, soften the cashews. For this, soak them overnight, boil them for 10 minutes, or add them to a bowl and pour boiling water to let them soften for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350.
Drain the excess water off the cashews. Now, add the cashews, hot sauce, vegan yogurt, and spices to a blender and blend until smooth.
Rinse the chickpeas and add them to the blender. Pulse 5 to 10 times. The chickpeas should only be broken down roughly as the dip should still have some texture.
Now, transfer the dip from the blender to a baking dish. (Optional: Sprinkle a little vegan cheese, nutritional yeast, or extra hot sauce). Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove and let it cool slightly. Serve and enjoy.
