Herb Vegetable Chips & Avocado Aioli
Chips & dip is actually required by law on Sunday funday sooooo, we thought we'd make it ya know, better by baking up some root veggies and avocado dip instead. FTW.
Makes 6 servings
What you need
1 small butternut squash, peeled
1 large sweet potato, peeled
1 large parsnip, peeled and trimmed
1 carrot, peeled and trimmed
coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs (sage, thyme and oregano)
5 tablespoons Tessemae’s Zesty Ranch
2 ripe avocados, pitted and chopped
¼ cup Tessemae’s Mayonnaise
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
What you do
- Heat oven to 375 and place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut butternut squash in half, separating the skinny end from the bulbous end. Halve the bulbous end and scoop out the seeds and discard them.
- Using a mandolin, cut squash, sweet potato, parsnip and carrot into very thin slices (about 1/16-inch-thick). Place veggies on paper towels in a single layer and sprinkle with salt. Let stand 15 minutes, then blot dry.
- Toss together veggies, herbs, and 3 tablespoons of the Zesty Ranch. Working in batches, place vegetable slices on a single layer on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake until crisp, about 40 minutes, tossing veggies and rotating baking sheets halfway through cook time. Let veggies cool on baking sheets 5 minutes.
- While veggies are baking, make Aioli Dip: combine remaining 2 tablespoons Zesty Ranch, avocado, Mayonnaise, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste in a blender and process until smooth. Serve with veggie chips.
