Recipe | Root Veg Peel Crisps with Truffle Oil

Iona Bower December 15, 2020

Veggie peelings are given a new lease of life, transformed into these crispy, crunchy snacks

Serves 2

2 large sweet potatoes
3 large beetroots
2 parsnips
1 garlic clove, grated
30ml truffle oil
A few sprigs of fresh rosemary (optional)

1 Preheat the oven to 180C/Fan160C/ Gas 4 and line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Use a vegetable peeler to peel thin slivers of the veg and place in a bowl. Add the grated garlic, a few sprigs of rosemary, seasoning and the truffle oil. Mix with your hands and then transfer to the baking sheet, spreading it out as much as possible.

2 Cook for 25 mins, turning the peel over half way through. When the peel is crispy (but not burnt), remove from the oven, allow to cool, then transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with a few sprigs of rosemary and extra salt and pepper, if needed.


We recommend serving these root veg peel crisps alongside a mulled gin. Both recipes are from our feature It’s Crispmas! by Catherine Frawley, which you can find in the December issue, along with several more crisps and drinks recipes.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
