Burdock crisps

Simple to make and completely delicious. The only problem is not to eat them all before dinner time!

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 15 mins
Elderberry, Burdock, Rowan

Ingredients

  • Burdock roots
  • 2 tsp vinegar (for water)
  • Oil for deep frying
  • Salt

Method

Scrub burdock roots with a stiff brush. Using a speed peeler, peel off ribbons from the roots, turning between cuts. Immediately submerge ribbons in water with 2 tsp vinegar to prevent browning. Pat dry and deep fry in oil at 180C until golden. Drain on kitchen paper and season with salt.
