Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) to get it ready for the chips.
Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
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.
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.
Add the potato chips into the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
