Baked Radish Chips

Well, Happy Summer!! Took the family for a lil vacation that last about 3 1/2 weeks.. Then back home and time to tend to the garden! To my surprise we had a whole bunch of radishes!! I love them fresh, however there is no way we could eat that many before they went bad! So, I do what I do went to Pinterest in search of how to can radishes. I found Radish relish, pickled radishes and then I saw radish chips. Thought it would make for a good Pinterest attempt and blog about it! 

The website I used (from Pinterest) for this recipes: www.pinchofyum.com/cinnamon-sugar-radish-chips

Started off by bringing in all the radishes I could gather, cut the tops and roots off, and washed them (or bathed them, depending how you look at it) in cold water and 1 cup of white vinegar in a large bowl...

They just cleaned up so well!! And look delish!!! Next...

So this is where I lack the "chef" skills!! Trying to cut them all about the same thickness.. Oh yeah, need to invest in a mandolin soon! (Future check list).. I cut enough for what I will say is about 3 cups maybe more... :D

Next, I started to make the "wet" mixture. 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tbsp raw honey, and 2 tsb of sugar/cinnamon mix.. I whisked together till it all combined into a pretty honey mix..

I did heat the radishes in the microwave for about 30 seconds to warm them up. I poured the liquid gold over the radishes and did my best to stir it all together...

Since I am who I am.. I didnt have parchment paper (could be why they messed up) so I coated the sheet with shortening (which may have been mistake number 2).  I then cooked the chips for 15 minutes, flipped them and put them back in the 350 degree oven for 20 more minutes.. Then another 10 or so.. Sadly they never became crispy.. Just chewy...

Safe for me to say that this attempt was an absolute fail!... But I will get the proper paper to line the pan with or buy one of those mats made to bake sticky stuff.. What are those things called?!?!... 

Until next time, I hope you enjoy your summer as much as we are here so far.. Off to the garden for the next adventure!!
