Recipe: Vegetable Polenta Chips

Kids absolutely love potato chips so why not take advantage of this by creating something that has all the taste but are better for them. These chips are so flexible for you to use whatever veggies your kids like. Try serving them with a nice dipping sauce or aioli.

Ingredients

Each flavor makes around 12 chips

Cheese

1/2 cup polenta

1 cup milk

3/4 cup grated cheese

Beetroot

1/2 cup polenta

1 cup milk

1/2 cup beetroot puree

1/2 cup grated cheese

Pumpkin

1/2 cup polenta

1 cup milk

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup grated cheese

Pea and zucchini

1/2 cup polenta

1 cup milk

1/2 cup grated cheese

Olive oil to brush

Method

1/ Prepare your vegetable puree/s and set aside. Line an individual tray with baking paper for each flavour. Or use a large tray and divide sections with foil.

2/ Bring the milk to the boil and add the vegetable puree. Gradually whisk in the polenta in a think and steady stream. Add the cheese, and whisk continuously for a couple of minutes or until thick and smooth.

3/ Pour the polenta into the tray, smooth with the back of a spoon. Place this in the fridge for at least an hour to set. Once set, slice into chips and spray/brush lightly with olive oil.

4/ Preheat your oven to 200oC. Place the chips on a tray and bake for around 30 minutes, turning half way. The chips should be lightly golden.

Tip: If you are time poor, you can grill these for 2 minutes either side.

Tip: Using milk or stock will give these more flavor but you can also use water.
