Who doesn’t love crispy chips or fries dunked in their favorite dip? I’ve rounded-up 15 healthy alternatives to potato chips that will satisfy your need to crunch and sneak fruits and vegetables into your diet too!
I feel as though I’m laying out my case for a chip obsession! Below you’ll find 15 different fruits and vegetables made into chips or fries plus a few other chip-like munchies. Most are from The Dinner-Mom site and all but one are vegetarian and gluten-free. I’ve also gathered some recipes from around the web that are on my bucket list to make. 🙂
15 Healthy Alternatives to Potato Chips
None of these require special equipment (although I feel like a good candidate for a dehydrator!)
1- Zucchini Chips in the Microwave or Oven
It takes a bit of patience to bake fruits and veges to perfection in a standard oven. Naturally, I had to give the microwave a try!
The Sugar Free Mom has Salt and Vinegar Zucchini Chips and Homemade Ranch Zucchini Chips that look mighty good!
2- Sweet Potato Chips
My fascination with homemade vegetable chips began with sweet potatoes. These chips are hearty enough to withstand a little dipping!
3- Baked Beet Chips
When beets bake in the oven, they sweeten and become oh so good! They’re pretty too,
4- Crispy Kale Chips
Kale chips also make a wonderful, crunchy salad topper.
5- Baked Apple Chips
Fruit chips, such as the apple chips, would be perfect for dessert nachos!
6- Pear Chips
Dip these in chocolate. The end.
7- Parmesan Cheese Crisps Laced with Veges
Cheesy goodness that stands alone and is a nice accompaniment to soups and salads.
8- Carrot Fries
I’ve only just begun the venture into the world of vege “fries.” These don’t taste like fries. But, they sure are tasty, especially dipped in a yogurt dill sauce.
9- Baked Green Bean Fries
It’s easy to eat your greens when they’re baked in cheese!
10- Parmesan Paprika Chicken “Chips”
I’ve included this one just to show you how far I will go to enjoy a chip. 🙂
So many options, so little time. Sigh.
