    Healthy Alternatives to Chips Pin

    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!

    Picture collage of healthy chips alternatives - sweet potato chips, zucchini chips, parmesan cheese crisps and apple chips

    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 veggies 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 Veggies

    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 vegetable "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!

    So many options, so little time. Sigh.
