Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12-14 medium red radishes about 300 g, sliced 1.5 to 2 mm
  • 1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika sweet
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt plus 1 tsp for pre-salting
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Colander
  • Wire rack
  • Mandoline or sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Toss the slices with 1 tsp salt in a colander and rest 10 minutes over the sink.
  2. Rinse quickly under cold water, shake dry, spread on a towel, and press firmly with another towel until dry to the touch.
  3. Toss with the oil, then the smoked paprika, garlic powder, remaining salt, and pepper until every slice looks red.
  4. Preheat to 375°F for 3 minutes. Load in a loose single layer and cook 6 minutes, then shake and cook 3 to 5 minutes more, watching from minute 3, until the edges brown and curl.
  5. Move to a wire rack for 2 minutes; carryover heat firms them.

Notes

Pre-salt draws the water out; the rinse takes off the sharp bite and excess salt.
A hot start prevents steaming.
Salt and vinegar version: toss finished chips with malt vinegar powder, never liquid vinegar.
