Description
A fun and healthy snack option, these Crispy Smashed Broccoli Chips are perfect for dipping and a great alternative to traditional chips.
Ingredients
- 2 medium heads of broccoli (cut into florets)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup dairy-free yogurt
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp dried dill (for sauce)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and boil for 5-6 minutes until just tender. Drain and pat dry.
- Place the boiled broccoli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use the bottom of a flat cup or glass to gently press and smash each floret until flattened.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, vegan parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Brush both sides of the smashed broccoli with the seasoned oil mixture using a pastry brush.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until the broccoli chips are crispy and golden, flipping halfway for even baking.
- In a small bowl, mix the dairy-free yogurt, lemon juice, and dried dill. Serve alongside the broccoli chips.
- Serve the smashed broccoli chips warm with the tangy yogurt dipping sauce.
Notes
For maximum crispiness, reheat the chips in the oven before serving. Feel free to experiment with spices.
