These oven-roasted chips offer all the satisfying crunch of a traditional chip but with a significantly lower fat content. By using a clever combination of a high oven temperature and a small amount of vegetable oil, the potatoes develop a crisp, golden-brown skin while remaining light and fluffy in the centre. Whether you choose classic russets or striking purple potatoes, the key is to leave the skins on for extra texture and a rustic, homemade feel.

This low-fat side dish is an excellent alternative to deep-frying and fits perfectly into a balanced midweek menu. Serve these seasoned wedges alongside grilled chicken, flaky white fish, or a fresh green salad for a healthy, comforting meal. Simple to prepare and naturally gluten-free, they are a versatile staple that the whole family will enjoy.
