Ingredients

- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
1. Prepare the Daikon Radish:
- Peel the daikon radish and slice it thinly, about ¼ inch thick.
- Rinse the slices under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2. Season the Chips:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- Lay the daikon slices in a single layer on a tray (for dehydrator) or a parchment-lined baking sheet (for oven).
- Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the slices.
Dehydrator Method:
- Arrange the slices in a single layer on the dehydrator trays without overlapping.
- Set the dehydrator to 135°F (57°C).
- Dry the chips for 6–8 hours, checking occasionally for crispness.
- Once they’re crisp, remove from the dehydrator and let cool before serving.
- Best enjoyed fresh for maximum crunch.
Oven Method:
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Place the seasoned daikon slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 1 hour, then check for doneness. Remove any smaller slices that are already crispy.
- Continue baking the remaining slices for another hour, or until all chips are crisp.
- Let them cool completely before enjoying.
