Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt since you will be keeping the skin on for added fiber.
Using a sharp knife or a mandolin slicer, carefully slice the potatoes into thin, even slices about 1/8 inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and drizzle with the extra-virgin olive oil. Toss well to ensure that all slices are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the potato slices, then toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then rotate the pans. Continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them crisp up further.
Serve your Mediterranean Diet Salt and Pepper Chips warm or at room temperature, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
