Root veggie crisps with citrus and rosemary salt

2 large carrots

3 medium beetroots, scrubbed, unpeeled

vegetable oil, to deep-fry

2 rosemary stems, leaves removed

1/4 cup sea salt flakes

2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Method

Root veggie crisps with citrus and rosemary salt

1.Using a vegetable peeler, cut carrots into ribbons. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice unpeeled beetroot very thinly.

2.Make citrus and rosemary salt; place rosemary leaves, salt and zests in a mortar and pestle; gently pound until combined.

3.Heat oil in a medium heavy-based saucepan over moderately high heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil). Deep-fry carrot and beetroot, in batches, for 2 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Drain on paper towel. Serve with citrus and rosemary salt.

If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, make the salt in a small food processor.
