October 31 is Halloween! The children will surely dress up and go get candy from the neighbors and you may have decorated your house with pumpkin lanterns and spooky ghosts.

Appetizer: Sweet potato chips

To start the evening off right, we offer you a recipe for homemade vegetable crisps to make in the oven. We started with sweet potatoes, but you can, of course, make chips with lots of vegetables such as carrots, red beets or even parsnips. This will be the ideal aperitif time to choose your film for tonight!

If you have a dehydrator, you can also easily make your vegetable crisps without oil. The dehydration time depends a lot on the vegetables, but here are a few as an indication: Beets, parsnips, sweet potatoes will require about ten hours while carrots, zucchini, turnips will need about fifteen hours.
