About Baked crisps

Baked crisps are a type of snack made by slicing and baking potatoes, sweet potatoes, or other root vegetables. Originating as a healthier alternative to traditional fried chips, baked crisps are associated with Western and modern global cuisine. Their preparation involves minimal oil compared to fried versions, making them lower in fat and calories. Nutritionally, they provide a source of carbohydrates for quick energy and may retain some of their natural fiber depending on the preparation method. The sodium content can vary significantly based on added seasonings, so choosing low-sodium options can enhance their nutritional value.
