Chunky Baked Chips with Garlic, Rosemary and Thyme

I can say without shame or guilt, that potatoes are my favourite vegetable. Potatoes get quite a lot of mention being high in carbs and not necessarily the best thing you’d want to eat if you want to maintain a healthy lifetstyle. You’ll be told eat fewer carbs, i.e potatoes. But these chunky baked chips are just what you need when you want to avoid eating traditional fries. A little crispy on the outside and loaded with so much flavour, you’d be coming back to these again and again.

These healthy chunky baked chips are super easy to make, don’t need to many ingredients, don’t need the hassle of frying or even an air fryer. Simply chop the spuds, gather your favourite seasoning and toss into the oven. It is the perfect snack, or side that you enjoy guilt free.

I tend to make these chunky baked chips to go alongside baked my Tandoori Salmon by changing the seasoning to incorporate Curry powder and paprika instead of rosemary and thyme. The combination has always been such a big hit. You could also replace the spuds with sweet potato and use the same seasoning. Works a treat. What seasoning would you like to experiment with, leave a comment? Serve alongside my Tandoori Salmon.
