    Celeriac chips are great, or what about doing a tray roast of a selection of veg, to see which you like most?  We do a mix of any of the following: cauliflower and broccoli florets, butternut squash chunks, sweet potato chips, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes (probably best if you avoid these for now though), swede  and carrot chunks, all tossed in a little oil, seasoned, and roast on a large tray or in the airfryer. 

    Good quality Sumac is an amazing seasoning for roast veg but it's pricey so I only use it occasionally,
    Thank you. This sounds like a really good idea to see what I like and what works! Xx

    How about polenta chips? I sometimes do those under the grill & serve them stacked like jenga blocks 😁

    If you buy the pre-made block it is easier, but they are relatively easy to make with some forethought to ensure you have some made & left to go cold.
    I’ve never tried polenta.  A couple of people have suggested it now so might to give it a go. Thank you for the suggestion xx

    Aubergine chopped into chips, dipped in beaten egg then Parmesan and baked.

    But not while they are avoiding all nightshades.
    Thanks both of you. I will give aubergine a miss for the time being. I do think it’s a good idea to cut out all of the nightshade family and see how my symptoms go!! Xx

    The block is a good starting point - if you make it yourself stir frequently, season it VERY WELL (I add a very large handful of grated parmesan & lots of black pepper) and be prepared for a pan of what looks like a science experiment 😉

    I think I’ll start with shop bought. I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to give a science experiment a go for the first time of trying it 🤣🤣🤣 xx
