Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Peri Peri spice mix
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if you prefer, although leaving the skin on adds extra nutrients and texture.
Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick sticks, resembling traditional French fries.
Place the potato sticks into a large bowl and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with a towel.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, Peri Peri spice mix, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and lemon juice.
Pour the spice mixture over the potatoes and toss them well until all the pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potato sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow for perfect crisping.
Bake the chips in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the tray and flip the chips for even cooking.
Continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-fat Peri Peri chips as a delicious side dish or snack!
