If you are a working woman or a busy mom, you might be relying on those store-bought potato chips for those late nights, lazy afternoons, and everything in between. I did too. But my love affair with potato chips took a turn when I discovered that, once cooked, they contained about 35% oil by weight, contributing to a staggering 60% of their calorie content. 

Determined to find a healthier alternative, I embarked on a quest for the perfect snack. That’s when I stumbled upon the idea of making my own mushroom crisps. Intrigued by the prospect of a crunchy, savory snack that was not only delicious but also far healthier, I decided to give it a try. The first time I sliced those fresh mushrooms, tossed them with olive oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of sea salt, and watched them transform into golden brown, crispy chips in the oven, I knew I had found something special. 

So, if you want to feel the same sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, stick around as I will be sharing an easy-to-follow recipe that is not only a healthy alternative to traditional chips, but they’re also incredibly simple to make.

Gluten-Free Mushroom Chips Recipe

Ingredients

1. 20 ounces (600 grams) king oyster mushrooms
2. 4 tablespoons melted avocado oil or ghee
3. Kosher salt, to taste
4. Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Turn the oven’s temperature up to 300°F (or 275°F if you’re using convection bake), and line your baking sheets with foil. You may need to use more than one pan or bake in batches, depending on how large your tray is.
2. Cut your shrooms in half lengthwise, and then use a mandoline slicer to thinly slice them into ⅛-inch pieces.
3. Arrange the slices of mushroom in a single layer on the sheets covered with parchment paper. Make sure the mushrooms are completely dry, and separate the slices apart slightly.
4. Drizzle the mushroom slices on both sides with melted ghee or avocado oil, then season with salt & pepper to taste.
5. Bake the chips for 45 to 1 hour or until crispy and golden brown. If these chips are still somewhat mushy, don’t remove them from the oven since they won’t get much crispier after that.
6. And that’s all! Your gluten-free shroom bites are ready.
7. Start practicing now so you’ll be prepared for those lazy evenings and busy days – and stay tuned for another delightful recipe coming your way tomorrow.
