Is there a vegetarian substitute for egg?
Good question Charlotte. There are some commercial egg replacement products and recipes that you can use to replace the eggs with, but we have not tested with any egg substitutes yet. If we do make it at some point we’ll post it. Also, we would like to hear from you if decide to give it a try and test it on you own. Thanks! 🙂
What would the “shelf life” be of these?? Also, if I squeezed moisture out would it work with frozen broccoli??? Cheese cloth!
Marlene,
These crisps are best eaten immediately after cooling. 🙂
Please use fresh broccoli because frozen will retain moisture and/or won’t hold together as well. Thank you for your questions!
Perfect! I’m really excited to try these
We hope you’ll enjoy this simple and delicious recipe, Jolisa!
It would be helpful to put oil on the aluminum foil. Mine were stuck to the foil when I tried to flip them, so I lost the bottom of every one of them. They taste good.
Sync, thank you for your suggestion. We’re glad you enjoyed it!
the thinner they are, the crispier they’ll get. it’s a keeper.
Yes, they will! Thank you, Monica! 😉
Great recipe. I’m definitely saving this!
Alika, thank you. Please, let us know how you like them.
Do you think coconut flour would work?
It’s a great question, Sheridan. I will not recommend coconut flour for this recipe. Coconut flour doesn’t stick together well and mostly is used for baking bread and desserts.
How much does this make? I might also try this with red pepper (after squeezing the water out really good!)
Jen, about 20 (+/-). Red Pepper? Sounds so cool! Please, let us know how it will go… 🙂
4 cups of broccoli, 1 cup of carrots…that’s 5 cups or 80 Tablespoons. Shouldn’t that make 80 crisps?
Do you think 3 egg whites would work in place of the whole eggs?
Jenny, I would recommend using the whole eggs. With the egg whites, the flavor may change and it will not hold crisps together as well.
These look easy and yummy. I will be preparing this recipe soon.
Thank you, Cary! I hope you’ll enjoy them.
