How to Make Healthy Potato Chips (8 Steps)

If you are committed to healthy eating habits, you're probably inclined to avoid packaged snack foods, which typically have few nutritional benefits. But when you crave a crunchy, salty snack, nothing satisfies like a potato chip. To satisfy the craving and stick to your nutritional goals, make your own baked -- not fried -- version.

Things You'll Need

  • Potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt or other seasonings
  • Sharp knife or mandoline
  • Cutting board
  • Timer

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degree Fahrenheit.

  2. Slice the potatoes thinly using a knife or mandoline. Choose red, russet, or Yukon gold potatoes.

  3. Rinse the potato slices to remove any excess starch. This will reduce the overall number of calories in the chips.

  4. Lay the potato slices on a baking pan or a pizza stone, overlapping them if necessary.

  5. Sprinkle or paint olive oil on the potato chips. Olive oil is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which improves brain function, decreases the risk for heart disease and acts as an anti-inflammatory.

  6. Season the potatoes with salt or other seasonings.

  7. Bake the potato chips for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes darken around the edges.

  8. Cool then serve, or store them in an airtight container.
