Oven-baked chips with chilli & thyme

Oven-baked chips with chilli & thyme are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried chips. These crispy, flavorful chips are easy to make and perfect for snacking or as a side dish. By combining the aromatic freshness of thyme with the spicy kick of chili powder, this recipe brings an exciting twist to a classic favorite.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
1 tsp chili powder
5g
1 tsp black pepper
2g
1 tsp salt
5g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
4 potatoes
800g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) to get it ready for the chips.
2. Prepare the Baking Tray:
Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Wash and Cut the Potatoes:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Cut the potatoes into chip shapes; try to keep them uniform in size for even cooking.
4. Mix the Seasoning:
In a large bowl, mix together the fresh thyme, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and olive oil. Stir well to combine all ingredients into a nicely blended seasoning.
5. Coat the Potatoes:
Add the potato chips into the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
6. Arrange on Baking Tray:
Spread out the seasoned potato chips in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
7. Bake the Chips:
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven. Bake the potatoes for about 25-35 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip the chips halfway through the baking time to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
8. Check for Doneness:
Once baked, check that the chips are cooked through and crispy. If they need a bit more time, continue baking in 5-minute increments until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
9. Serve:
Remove the baked chips from the oven and let them cool on the tray for a couple of minutes. Serve them hot, garnished with a bit more fresh thyme if desired.
10. Enjoy:
Enjoy your delicious oven-baked chips with chilli and thyme as a side dish or snack!

Tips:

- Ensure the potato slices are evenly cut for consistent cooking. Using a mandoline slicer can help achieve uniform thickness.

- For extra crispiness, soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes before baking. Pat them dry thoroughly before seasoning.

- Preheat the oven to ensure it reaches the correct temperature before placing the chips inside.

- Arrange the chips in a single layer on the baking sheet to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.

- Keep a close eye on the chips towards the end of the cooking time to prevent them from burning.

These oven-baked chips with chilli & thyme are sure to become a household favorite. With their crispy texture and flavorful seasoning, they make for a perfect snack or accompaniment to any meal. Enjoy the burst of flavors with every bite!
