Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps to make the chips extra crispy.
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensure they are thoroughly dry to achieve crispiness in the oven.
In a separate large bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, dried oregano, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to create a seasoning mixture.
Add the dried potato slices to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss well to ensure each slice is evenly coated.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure that none of the slices overlap to promote even cooking and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and flip each slice over. Continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy.
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. They will crisp up a bit more as they cool.
Serve the Mediterranean Diet Crispy Oven Baked Chips warm or at room temperature. Enjoy them as a healthy snack or as a side to your favorite Mediterranean dishes.
