Potato Peel Crisps
Ingredients
- Potato peel
- 1-2 tsp of oil
- Salt and pepper for seasoning
- Cumin paprika or chilli powder (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 200C. First of all you will need to peel your potatoes with a potato peeler. The skin might be too thick if you use a knife.
- Potato peel does not keep well, so get the peelings straight onto a baking tray.
- Drizzle the oil over your peelings and sprinkle over your chosen seasoning/spices.
- Use your hands to mix everything together, until the peelings are evenly coated in the oil and seasoning.
- Make sure the peelings are in an even layer and then place into the oven until slightly brown and crunchy, about 8-10 minutes.
Notes
You can try other vegetable peelings too! How about carrot and parsnip? The peel lasts for up to three days, if wrapped well and stored in the fridge.
