Central Market Exotic Vegetable Chips
What it is
These are thinly sliced root vegetables and other produce that have been fried or baked until crisp. The assortment often includes items like taro, sweet potato, parsnip, and sometimes beets or lotus root. They offer a variety of textures and natural sweetness from the vegetables themselves. This snack provides a satisfying crunch and a complex flavor profile that differs from traditional potato chips.
How people cook with it
These chips are a versatile addition to any snack selection or meal. They can be enjoyed on their own or incorporated into various dishes.

Open the bag and serve the chips directly. They are ready to eat as a standalone snack.

Consider them as a crunchy element on a charcuterie or cheese board.
