Ingredients
- 4 pieces large potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, slice the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 3
Place the potato slices in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps to make the chips extra crispy.
Step 4
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensure they are thoroughly dry to achieve crispiness in the oven.
Step 5
In a separate large bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, dried oregano, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to create a seasoning mixture.
Step 6
Add the dried potato slices to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss well to ensure each slice is evenly coated.
Step 7
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure that none of the slices overlap to promote even cooking and crispiness.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and flip each slice over. Continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. They will crisp up a bit more as they cool.
Step 10
Serve the Mediterranean Diet Crispy Oven Baked Chips warm or at room temperature. Enjoy them as a healthy snack or as a side to your favorite Mediterranean dishes.
