Preparation
  1. Peel and slice lotus root into 1/8-inch rounds using a mandoline. Soak in cold water for 10 minutes to remove surface starch and prevent browning.
  2. Arrange lotus rounds in a single layer on paper towels. Pat gently until completely dry.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over dried rounds, then sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and your favorite seasoning blend. Toss gently to coat each slice evenly.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and position the rack in the center.
  5. Lay slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip each piece and roast an additional 5–10 minutes.
  7. Transfer chips to a wire rack and let rest for 5 minutes.
