Low Fat Home Made Oven Chips Recipes

HOMEMADE CRISPY OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven: 230℃ / 220℃ fan / 450℉ / Gas mark 8
• Peel and cut your potatoes into 1cm slices and then into 1cm x 1cm sticks.
• Rinse in cold water and drain.
• Place your drained chips in a large microwaveable bowl. Microwave on full power for 5 minutes and drain.
• Add 2 tablespoons of rapeseed oil to the chips and coat well.
• Mix together the cornmeal, paprika, salt and pepper. Coat the oiled chips with your seasoned cornmeal.
• Grease your roasting tray with a little oil and place your chips evenly on the tin. Allow plenty of room for air circulation so your chips can crisp and brown.
• Place in pre-heated oven. Turn the chips over after 15 minutes and pop back in the oven for 10 minutes.
• Serve straightaway with a sprinkling of salt.

OVEN-ROASTED CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Peel the potatoes and cut them into long chip shapes - the thickness is entirely up to you, though the width of a finger is ideal. Rinse under the cold tap and pat dry with a tea towel.
• Spread the chips on a large non-stick baking tray and toss with the olive oil and celery salt. Lie them flat in a single layer - use two trays rather than overcrowd one.
• Roast for 45-50 mins, turning now and then. When cooked they should be golden brown and crisp with a light fluffy centre. Scatter on sea salt to serve.

ULTIMATE OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Peel the potatoes and chop into medium-sized chips. Rinse under cold running water, then tip into a large pan, cover with cold salted water, add the vinegar and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Stir once, then continue to simmer for about 6-8 mins until the chips are just cooked through but not breaking apart. Drain well.
• Add the oil to a shallow roasting tin and put in the oven to heat for 5 mins. Toss the chips in the cornflour, then carefully tip into the hot oil and arrange in a single layer using tongs. Drizzle with a little more oil to coat, then roast for 20 mins.
• Carefully turn the chips over in the oil using a spatula, then return to the oven for another 20 mins until golden brown.

OVEN-BAKED FAT CHIPS WITH ROSEMARY SALT

Steps:

• Place a baking tray in the oven and preheat it to 230 degrees C (450 degrees F).
• Parboil the potato chips, skin on, for about 10 minutes in boiling salted water.
• Heat some olive oil in a frying pan, smash the garlic bulb and chuck in the cloves, then add the potato chips. Toss in the oil and season with pepper. Bake on the preheated tray for 15 to 20 minutes until crispy and golden.
• Remove the leaves from the rosemary and put in the mortar with the lemon zest and salt. Bash up to make a green paste, adding more salt if it is too wet. Push through a sieve, and sprinkle on the chips to serve.

CHUNKY OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to its highest setting, ideally 250C/fan 230C/gas 9. Cut each potato into 1cm-wide slices, then into 1cm-thick sticks. Blanch in a large pan of boiling water for 3 mins, then drain well.
• Shake the potatoes out onto a roasting pan, drizzle with oil, ensuring each chip is evenly coated, then season well. Bake for about 15-20 mins, turning the potatoes at least twice, until golden brown and crisp.

LOW-FAT HOME-MADE OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees.
• Cut the potatoes into thick chips.
• Heat the stock in a large pan,when boiling,plunge the potatoes into it and cook approx 5 mins or until just tender.
• Drain the potatoes and cool slightly-reserve the stock for making chips on another day!
• Put the oil in a large ziplock bag and carefully toss the chips in it-at this point you can freeze them for use another day.
• Transfer the chips to a non-stick baking tray and bake for approx 15 mins,turning them once or twice, until golden and crisp (if cooking from frozen allow a little longer!).
• Sprinkle with paprika or if you're like me and can't live without it some spicy chicken salt.
