Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons oil

Here is how you do it

Talk about a fun way to eat the rainbow! You can use big carrots, beets, purple sweet potatoes, and parsnips to get a whole array of color on your plate. The best way to get these veggie chips uber thin is by using a mandoline slicer, but a strong word of caution: Please be careful. Use the cutting guard and don't multitask while you are slicing. Keep your focus on the very sharp blade in front of you. I don't want you making a finger chip. You can also use the slicing attachment on your food processor, or a special chopping tool.
