How to Prepare Tasty Crispy Chips Without Using a Drop of Oil: The Trick You Didn’t Know

Serving Suggestions: These crispy, oil-free chips can be served on their own as a snack, or paired with dips like guacamole, salsa, or hummus.

Storage: If you have leftovers (though unlikely!), store the chips in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. Re-crisp them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.

Variations

Sweet Potato Chips: Try using sweet potatoes for a different flavor. They have a slightly sweeter taste and will be just as crispy.

Herb Flavors: Toss the chips with dried herbs like rosemary or thyme before baking for an aromatic twist.

Spicy Chips: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to give your chips a kick.

FAQ

Can I use a microwave to make these chips? Yes, you can microwave potato slices using a microwave-safe plate, but they might not get as crispy as baking them. To achieve the best texture, try using a microwave-safe rack to allow air circulation.

Why is soaking the potatoes important? Soaking removes excess starch from the potatoes, which is the key to achieving that perfect crispy texture.
