These low carb Baked Sunchoke Chips (Jerusalem Artichoke Chips) have a low glycemic index and are high in potassium, iron, vitamin C and protein. A great snack to eat on any diet.
I received some Jerusalem Artichokes (aka Sunchokes®) to try. These tubulars are the roots to a sunflower and not an artichoke at all. They can be eaten raw, with or without the peel, and have a sweet, nutty almost artichoke-like flavor when cooked.
They have a low glycemic index and are high in potassium, iron, vitamin C and protein. I thought they would make a nice addition to my vegetable chip repertoire. Sunchoke Chips, baby!
I have baked Swiss Chard Chips.
I have baked Sweet Potato Chips.

I buy sunchokes every week at the farmer’s market when they are in season. I just can’t get enough of them. I never thought of making them into chips. I can’t wait to try this.
So sorry to hear your kids were sick. The whole routine can be messed up when one child gets sick… great that we work from home, but still it’s hard to get things done when we have a sick child at home. Hope they are feeling better already. My husband told me he’s not feeling well this morning, and I was in panic.

We’ve had colds, too. Bummer. Anyway, this is an inspired dish! I would never have thought of this. Really creative — thanks.
