No Fry Oven Chips Food

ULTIMATE OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Peel the potatoes and chop into medium-sized chips. Rinse under cold running water, then tip into a large pan, cover with cold salted water, add the vinegar and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Stir once, then continue to simmer for about 6-8 mins until the chips are just cooked through but not breaking apart. Drain well.
• Add the oil to a shallow roasting tin and put in the oven to heat for 5 mins. Toss the chips in the cornflour, then carefully tip into the hot oil and arrange in a single layer using tongs. Drizzle with a little more oil to coat, then roast for 20 mins.
• Carefully turn the chips over in the oil using a spatula, then return to the oven for another 20 mins until golden brown.

HOMEMADE VEGGIE CHIPS (NO OIL!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F.
• Slice all the veggies into uniformly thin slices with a knife or mandoline. In a bowl, toss them with the oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
• Spread out on a baking pan lined with parchment paper, minimizing overlap. Bake for 10 minutes at 400F. Flip. Bake for another 5-10 minutes until crispy and slightly brown but not burnt. Watch them carefully and even remove some early if they are browning before the others.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before eating.

HOMEMADE OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven into 200C/400F
• Brush a large metal non-stick baking tray with 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil. If your tray isn't non-stick, line the tray with non-stick foil instead. (*tip 1)
• Cut the potatoes into 1 cm (about 3/8 of an inch) thick slices (no need to peel).
• Sprinkle the sliced potatoes with the 1tbsp of cornflour and transfer to the oiled baking tray.
• Sprinkle with the 1tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp paprika, then drizzle on the rest of the oil (3 tbsp).
• Toss everything together with your hands so the fries are fully coated in the oil and arrange the chips in a single layer. Try to ensure they're not touching too much.
• Cover the tray in a piece of foil that's been greased with a little vegetable oil.
• Place in the oven for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and cook for a further 10 minutes.
• Turn the fries over using a spatula and cook for a final 5-10 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
• Transfer to a serving dish and serve.

OVEN-ROASTED CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Peel the potatoes and cut them into long chip shapes - the thickness is entirely up to you, though the width of a finger is ideal. Rinse under the cold tap and pat dry with a tea towel.
• Spread the chips on a large non-stick baking tray and toss with the olive oil and celery salt. Lie them flat in a single layer - use two trays rather than overcrowd one.
• Roast for 45-50 mins, turning now and then. When cooked they should be golden brown and crisp with a light fluffy centre. Scatter on sea salt to serve.

NO-FRY TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Immerse tortillas one at a time in water. Let drain briefly, then lay flat.
• If desired, sprinkle tops lightly with salt.
• Cut each tortilla into 6 to 8 wedges.
• Cover a nonstick baking sheet with a single layer of tortilla wedges, salt side up. Place close together but do not overlap.
• Bake in a 500 F oven for 4 minutes. Turn with a spatula; then continue to bake until golden brown and crisp, an additional 3 minutes for corn tortillas and 1 minute for flour tortillas.
• (Store in an airtight bag until ready to serve.).

AIR FRYER POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Thinly slice the potatoes on a mandoline, about 1/16 inch thick. Transfer to a medium bowl and run under cold water until almost all the white starch comes off and the water runs clear. Dry well between a couple paper towels. Dry the bowl as well.
• Add the dry potatoes back to the dry bowl and toss with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper until evenly coated.
• Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 320 degrees F. Shingle the potatoes in the bottom of the basket; it's okay if there are two layers. Cook until the potatoes are deep golden brown around the edges and crisp, tossing every 5 minutes with tongs so they're evenly cooked, about 30 minutes. If you notice a few slices are finished cooking and completely crisp before others, remove to a large bowl and continue cooking the remaining pieces.
• Season the chips with a pinch of salt. Serve immediately or let cool and store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

CHUNKY OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to its highest setting, ideally 250C/fan 230C/gas 9. Cut each potato into 1cm-wide slices, then into 1cm-thick sticks. Blanch in a large pan of boiling water for 3 mins, then drain well.
• Shake the potatoes out onto a roasting pan, drizzle with oil, ensuring each chip is evenly coated, then season well. Bake for about 15-20 mins, turning the potatoes at least twice, until golden brown and crisp.

BEST EVER OVEN CHIPS

Steps:

• Trim all the rounded edges off the potatoes to make a rectangular block, then cut this into thick batons (save any offcuts to make mash). Drop into a pan of cold salted water with the vinegar and bring to the boil. Simmer for 6-8 mins until the potatoes are just cooked and tender - test with the tip of a knife. Drain carefully, trying not to break any of the chips, and leave to cool completely. Can be prepared up to two days ahead and chilled until needed.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 9. Pour the oil into a sturdy, rimmed baking tray or shallow roasting tin and heat in the oven. Mix the flours with the baking powder, cayenne and some salt in a shallow dish and gently toss the chips in the floury mixture to coat, then leave in the mixture until needed.
• Carefully remove the pan from the oven - the oil should be shimmering - and lay the chips in a single layer in the pan. Use a thin, flexible spatula to gently turn the chips so they are all coated, then roast for 20 mins. Turn the chips again, then roast for another 10 minutes. Turn one final time, then cook for a futher 10 minutes until crisp and deep golden all over. Drain the chips onto kitchen paper and serve straight away.
