Instructions
Roasted Turnips:
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Get out a sheet tray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss together the turnips, olive oil, spices, salt and pepper.
- Spread the mixture out onto your sheet tray in an even layer.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through roasting until the turnips are nicely golden brown and slightly crispy.
Kale and Garlic Scape Chimichuri:
- Into the bowl of a food processor, add all the ingredients, kale, garlic scapes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lime juice, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
- Process on 15 second intervals until the chimichuri reaches your desired consistency. (Traditionally chimichuri is not blended until smooth but left slightly chunky.)
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Oven Baked Potato Chips:
- Preheat oven to 375°F Convect or 400°F regular. Get out a large sheet tray and set aside.
- Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes into 1/8″ slices. Place the slices into a large bowl of warm water. This helps to remove some of the starch from the potatoes.
- Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean dish towel or paper towel.
- In a large bowl toss the potato slices with the olive oil and salt.
- Place the potato slices onto your sheet tray in one single layer. This make take a few rounds, do not overlap or the chips will not cook evenly.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then using a spatula, flip the chips over and bake for another 10 minutes on the other side. Take care in the last few minutes to watch so that the chips do not burn!
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Assembly:
- Place one chip onto a plate, top with a tablespoon of roasted turnips, then top with a drizzle of chimichuri. Continue with remaining ingredients. Enjoy!
