Healthier Alternatives to Potato Chips

by Eden Godsoe, posted to Food & Drink

I love potato chips. They are my downfall. Salt and Vinegar are the best. But enough of potato chips. This list is all about healthier alternatives to potato chips that still satisfy.

Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips

Suggested by Krista:

Make your own tortilla chips, awesome! Plus, this comes from one of my all-time favorite food blogs.

Kale Chips

As my friend Wona who started "Cooking with Trader Joe's" says - crisp kale chips may be the healthiest a snack can get! Similar to potato chips, but tastier and far healthier.

Plantain Chips

Plantain chips may not quite as healthy as kale chips but certainly better than potato chips. Trader Joe's has good ones.

Krista: I want these SO badly right now that I can't even describe it.

Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

My mouth waters just thinking about these. And even I can make them.

Krista: Is there a place to buy ready made? Like...a TJ's version?

Jennifer Wright: I would love your recipe for these Eden. I have only bought ready made versions:)

Eden Godsoe: Jen - Click through on the link/image for the recipe I used. Super simple even I can do it!

CatK: These are amazing but you definitely need to roast them long enough. You want them crispy rather than soft.

Flavored Almonds

Almonds alone are ok but a little bland. I love all the flavors you can get like jalapeno.

Edamame

I've always been a fan of edamame.

Pretzel Crisps

Pretzels are good but Pretzel Crisps are better. They have a bunch of yummy flavors too.

Popchips

Suggested by Claudia:

Loving these new chips and they come in many flavors: BBQ, Sea Salt & Vinegar, Parmesan & Garlic..How am I suppose to pick just one?!

Eden Godsoe: I love these too. Especially the Sea Salt & Vinegar. I want to investigate these & the sweet potato chips further to find out if they are truly healthier than potato chips before I kid myself.

Wasabi Peas

Suggested by Krista:

The ones from Trader Joe's are pretty good, definitely have a kick to them.

Larissa: These ARE good, thanks for introducing them to me. They're not too spicy or salty, have a good crunchy texture too - not too hard or soft.

Eden Godsoe: I love wasabi peas. Didn't know TJs had some good ones. May need to add that to the things I buy regularly from TJs.

 Cut back on the margarine that this recipe calls for and you have a healthy alternative to the potato chip. You can put different seasoning to keep it interesting.

Traditional potato chips are made from sliced potatoes. PopChips turns the finest potatoes into what amounts to grains of rice or kernels of corn. Think of them as the next generation potato chips.
