Potato Chips Without Guilt

I recently purchased a "Topchips" microwave chip maker. Today I tried making sweet potato chips. No spice &no oil. They are wonderful! This will help me get through the munches in a healthy way. It has three silicone trays that you load with raw pieces of vegetable (potato, carrot, etc) or fruit (such as apple, pear, mango). Mine came with a food slicer to slice the product thin and uniform. Each load took 8 1/2 minutes in the microwave and then I turned the chips out onto a metal rack to cool. They were crisp and tasty.

    Veggie Straws are a great snack. They are flavored from Spinach, Tomato, and Potato, but all taste the same... just like a very light version of plain potato chips without the grease and salt. There

The maker of the chip maker is Mastrad. It was featured on Today show a while back. There are a few chp makers out there but during a taste test, this one came out on top. I bought it on Amazon.

I bought one from Pampered chef but also saw one at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Veggie Straws are a great snack. They are flavored from Spinach, Tomato, and Potato, but all taste the same... just like a very light version of plain potato chips without the grease and salt. There are 38 straws in a serving only 130 calories. I purchased them at Sams.

See link below with more nutrition info. Happy Snacking!

Epicure sells a similar product called a Chipster. They also sell seasonings to flavor your potato chips. It is a great product.

Search the site and you'll find the seasonings... Backyard BBQ Seasoning & Poutine Seasoning. I don't sell for Epicure but I'm sure someone in your area does.
