Roasted Arugula Chips Recipe
Roasted Arugula Chips, a quick and easy way to utilize arugula for a new snack. Keep that almost-forgotten arugula from heading to the compost by turning it into crunchy, healthy chips!
Ingredients
- 4 cups arugula
- 4 teaspoons olive oil divided
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- Optional: garlic powder, nutritional yeast, lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash and prep arugula: Fill a large mixing bowl with cold water and submerge arugula, stirring or moving the leaves around with your hands to make sure as much dirt is removed as possible. Next, remove the leaves from the water and use a salad spinner to remove water and put into a bowl or lay flat to dry (about 15 minutes).
- Preheat oven and prep greens: Preheat the oven to 400° F (200° C). To a medium mixing bowl, add dry arugula leaves and 2 teaspoons olive and, using your hands, massage the greens to coat them completely in oil. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil to grease a baking sheet, then add oiled greens and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add any additional desired spices, like a sprinkle of garlic powder, nutritional yeast, or a sprinkle of lemon juice.
- Roast arugula: Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping the leaves with a spatula halfway through baking so they get crispy on all sides. Once they're completely crispy, remove from the oven and eat immediately for best flavor. Enjoy!
Notes
- Recipe notes: Cooked arugula reduces to a very small amount when cooked. An entire bag (about 8 ounces) will end up being about 1/2 - 1 cup of baked arugula. Increase the amount cooked depending on how much you will need.
- Tools needed: mixing bowl, baking sheet, spatula
- Prep ahead: Wash and dry arugula up to three days ahead of time so they are ready to prep for baking when your snack craving hits.
- Leftovers and storage: While the flavor and crispiness is best when eaten right after baking, you can store leftover roasted arugula in an airtight container on the counter for up to two days.
- Nutrition notes: This recipe made as written is plant-based, gluten-free, nut-free, and is a healthier alternative to traditional chips and crisps.
