3:54:13 PM | I don't know about you all but if I was stuck on a desert island and was given one food only to eat it would be the humble spud (potato),boiled,mashed, chipped, they are wonderful!
So, for me potatoes are actually harder to give up than sugar. It must be my Irish ancestry :-) Being low carb oh how we miss potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnip, butternut squash etc..
I miss making homemade chips baked with olive oil, sea salt and paprika and cumin, or garlic powder and dried herbs.
But yesterday I had a revelation because after all these months of dreaming of chips, Lo and behold I came across a website that said Celeriac is a low carb root vegetable. I checked out its carb ratio and it truly is.... So I'm quite excited, because as we speak my oven is singing away making its familiar hum as it cooks some celeriac chips, made with olive oil, paprika, cumin and sea salt. With a side order of tomatoes and peppers.
I will make a dip with yogurt and cumin to dip them in when they are ready. But yogurt and garlic powder dip is my favorite!
I tasted one, not as nice as potatoes but I really like the look, texture is similar to potato and with the spices I think this could be a regular pleasant addition to the low carb diet!
Try it!! |
