Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 small Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if desired, although leaving the skins on can add texture and nutrients.
Slice the potatoes into thin strips, similar to typical French fries, keeping them even in thickness for uniform cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spiced oil mixture.
Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the masala mixture.
Spread the spiced potato slices onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat, ensuring they are laid out in a single layer without overlapping.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, flip the chips to promote even cooking. Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the chips are golden and crispy.
While the chips are baking, finely chop the fresh cilantro and cut the lemon into wedges.
Once done, remove the chips from the oven. Allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Transfer the chips to a serving plate, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the chips for an added zesty flavor.
