Turn Vegetable Skins Into a Crispy Snack Instead of Throwing Them in the Trash Can
Vegetable trimmings can be used in a variety of ways, such as vegetable broth or crispy chips . The next time you peel root vegetables, bake them into a tasty snack instead of throwing them in the trash.
For best results, use nutritive peels from carrots, parsnips, and potatoes. Just toss the vegetable rind with the oil, salt and pepper. Put them on a baking sheet and place in the oven at 400 degrees for 6-10 minutes. Watch out for the peel as it is quite thin and can burn easily.
You can bake the skins into crispy chips for a snack, use as a side dish instead of French fries, or use as a crispy filling for casseroles and soups. The best thing about this easy dish is that you can add whatever spices you want to change for each batch.
