Honey ginger chips are a delicious and healthy snack that combines the spiciness of ginger with the sweetness of honey.

These chips are not only tasty but also packed with the natural goodness of ginger, known for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties.

Perfect for satisfying your sweet and spicy cravings, honey ginger chips are easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients.

Prepare the ginger:

Peel the ginger root using a spoon or a vegetable peeler.
Slice the ginger into thin, uniform slices. A mandoline slicer works best for this, but you can also use a sharp knife.

Boil the ginger:

In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
Add the ginger slices to the boiling water and let them boil for about 10 minutes to soften them.
Drain the ginger slices and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Honey syrup:

In the same saucepan, combine the honey and 1/2 cup of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the honey.

Cook the ginger:

Add the ginger slices to the honey syrup.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the ginger slices become translucent and the syrup thickens slightly.

Dry the ginger:

Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the ginger slices from the syrup and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Optional: If you want sweeter chips, sprinkle the ginger slices with a little sugar before drying them.

Bake the ginger:

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Bake the ginger slices for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until they are dry and slightly crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
