oven chips
Crispy and golden oven chips, a healthier alternative to deep-fried fries, perfect as a side dish or snack.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 kg potatoes Russet or Maris Piper varieties work best
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes. You can peel them or leave the skins on for extra texture and nutrients.
- Cut the potatoes into chips of your desired thickness (about 1 cm or 0.5 inch).
- In a large bowl, toss the potato chips with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowding the pan, which will steam them instead of crisping them up.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, then flip the chips and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra crispy chips, you can soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them thoroughly. This removes excess starch.
