We are starting a new edition for the month with BM# 61. For the first week, I will be posting some Root Vegetable recipes. Though we do use most of them, never baked before and especially never in the form of a chip. I recently read that these baked chips are often given to toddlers, who can nimble on these. I guess it forms an introduction to the little ones to get used to eating vegetables. Nothing like that happened with mine.
I still feel the pinch of it.
Anyway, I was quite surprised and shocked that I have unconsciously ended up making chips for this theme. I could've easily changed the theme to Root Chips than just Root vegetables. I didn't realize that the inside joke of my BM group influenced me so much, albeit all unknowingly.
I was quite harassed thinking what to cook with the root vegetables, as we are quite set in our habits and not given to being adventures in certain areas of eating. Like chips refer to potato only and yes sometimes extend to plantain.
So thinking about baking a whole lot of root vegetable was quite new. I was inspired by this idea, however I simply made it in Indian style.

You could think of baking with just salt and oil and drizzle the chili powder later. Add more spice as well if required.
