About Air fryer chips

Air fryer chips are a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried French fries, popular in Western cuisine with roots in fast food culture. Made by slicing potatoes into thin strips or wedges, these chips are cooked using an air fryer, which circulates hot air to create a crispy texture with minimal oil. Nutritionally, air fryer chips can provide a good source of energy from carbohydrates and retain more vitamins and minerals than deeply fried variations due to the reduced oil content. A single serving can contain dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamin C depending on preparation and type of potatoes used.

Health Benefits

• Rich in potassium, which supports heart health and proper muscle function.
• Contains dietary fiber promoting healthy digestion and satiety.
• Lower in unhealthy fats compared to deep-fried alternatives, making them better for cardiovascular health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: None known

Suitable for: Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free (if plain potatoes used), low-fat diets

Selection and Storage

Store raw potatoes in a cool, dark place until ready for use. After cooking, refrigerate leftover air fryer chips in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
