How do you make veggie chips tender? - Cook adding flour into baking form while preparing meal

I recently discovered how quick and easy it is to make thin slices of veggies on the mandolin if you use safety gloves.

Now I'm considering using my newfound power to make veggie chips, except I've never in my life has a veggie chip that wasn't way too hard and way too crunchy. They always cut up the roof of my mouth and feel like I'm eating a piece of tree bark.

I'm looking to find a way to cook mandolinned veggies in my convection oven that aren't going to destroy my palate, but all I can find in Google is "USE THIS RECIPE TO MAKE THE CRISPIEST VEGGIE CHIPS EVER!"

That's...the opposite of what I want? How can I make chips that are more like Lays potato chip consistency, without veering into "too crunchy" territory? Do I just need to slice them thin enough? Use a higher oven temp, like making soft cookies? Do I have to fry them, or can I air-fry? Do some veggies come out more tender than others?
