Roasted Purslane Chips

Hi Everyone, move over kale chips, there's a new plant-based, oven-roasted chip in town!

I have not seen purslane chips anywhere on the internet before this blog post so perhaps this is the first!

Purslane is a plant that I find very inspiring - I know, I know, I get excited about many plant-based ingredients but it’s nutritional content, the fact that it’s a succulent and that it’s most often considered a weed in by many when it’s so delicious and nuanced in flavor - all these things combined make me just root for this plant and think about all the ways I can appreciate it and showcase to everyone how wonderful it truly is.

I love that this superfood plant can be made into a healthy snack.
