Ingredients:

Serving

this recipe is an amalgamation of about five different recipes, coming off the internet.
1 lb whole fresh lotus root
2-3 tsp of your favorite cajun spice blend ( i use emeril's original) or just mix up some salt , pepper , and cayenne
2 tsp salt or to taste
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions:

Wash and peel the lotus root, removing any brown bits, just like a potato. Sliced 1/8 inch thick.
Slide the roots onto bamboo sticks strung across a microwave safe bowl, as pictured.
Microwave on high for 2 mins to blanch.
When the steam subsides, immerse immediately in a bowl of water with a Tablespoon of rice wine vinegar or lemon juice, and a few little ice cubes mixed around.
When cool. Drain and pat dry on towels.
Preheat the oven to 450 F
Get a big spoon and mix the roots with the oil and spices.
Spread out in a single layer on a non stick big baking sheet.
Bake for 10 mins. turn. bake an additional 10 mins. You want them to be browned and golden just like a potato chip.
Drain on some towels.
Eat them warm or at room temp for up to two days.
Note: You can do this with any root veggie. These taste really great with taro root and/or sweet potato.
