Oven Baked Potato Chips
Are you one of those that love potato chips? You open the bag and the next think you realize the bag is empty!! Well I love potato chips. Who doesn’t? Right?
Honestly, as much as I love it? my waist hates it. So though I don’t live my life counting calories I know that stuff ain’t good for me. Deep fried food with too much oil is not heart healthy either.
In our home we eat potato chips all the time but they are not deep fried!! These are my oven baked potato chips or like my kids say oven fried potato chips. And these have a fraction of the oil just for the purpose of color.
Like I said I don’t live my life counting calories and if you have been on this blog then you know desserts are my thing. I do believe in eating a more balanced diet so I save where I have to and splurge when I need to. Just to give you an idea one serving (100 gram bag) of potato chips are about 530 calories while these oven baked chips are only 111 calories – See the difference. I’d rather eat an ice cream!! Just my way of thinking.
Oven Baked Potato Chips
Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes (Save/Pin)
- Potatoes – It’s best to use baking potatoes like Yukon gold for these as they hold their shape better. But I do use what ever I have on hand and they still turn out delicious. Some potatoes will just need more attention when in the oven as they brown quickly.
- Cooking oil – I love using olive oil but not when I cook on very high heat like this. Olive oil burns in high heat and is not good for you. So while olive oil is usually healthier than cooking oil in this case it’s best to use cooking oil.
- Seasonings – The most basic is salt, pepper. But there is so much more you can do with seasoning. I love making different variations from turmeric to pumpkin spice as well as Parmesan or Cheddar.
