About Oven baked chips

Oven-baked chips, a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried chips, are typically made by thinly slicing potatoes, lightly coating them in oil, and baking them in an oven until crispy. Originating from Western cuisine, they are a staple in many countries and are often served as a side dish or snack. Nutritionally, oven-baked chips are lower in fat compared to fried versions and retain more of the potato's natural nutrients, such as potassium, vitamin C, and fiber. They provide a source of complex carbohydrates, essential for energy, while the baking process significantly reduces the overall calorie content associated with frying.

• Provides dietary fiber, promoting healthy digestion and gut health.
• Contains vitamin C, which supports immune function and skin health.
• Lower in saturated fat compared to deep-fried chips, reducing cardiovascular risk.
• Offers complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy throughout the day.
