Healthy and Potato Chips (or Crisps) - are they mutually exclusive terms ??

Love your chips or crisps but don't want to deal with the unhealthy circumstances?

Normally I would say 'healthy' and 'potato chips/crisps' definitely are mutually exclusive terms but it appears that there is a healthy way of making your favourite snack / side dish....

And you don't have to stick to potatoes either.  Turnips, beets, sweet potato, zucchinis, asparagus, pumpkin, apples, some leafy vegetables ....  You're only limited by your imagination it seems.

Baked or microwaved for preference, these unexpected versions of our favourite junk food offer an indulgent and healthy alternative.  They look like they taste pretty good too....

But if you're anything like me, the thought of all that preparation can really put you off even attempting such a chore!!  I mean, getting out a sharp knife, slicing and dicing, making sure every chip or fry is the same size so they cook the same ....

Then I saw this nifty little all in one chips maker set which means you're already over the BIGGEST hurdle in your journey towards healthier junk food eating.  This very handy 'kitchen appliance' will let you make your own oil-free, non-fried, healthy chips/crisps quickly and easily!  Gone are the days of manually slicing and dicing because this does it all for you and then all you have to do is stick it in the microwave.  What could be easier than that??

Fun facts about chips and fries from Wikipedia:

A potato chip (American English) or crisp (British English) is a thin slice of potato that has been deep fried or baked until crunchy. Potato chips are commonly served as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. The basic chips are cooked and salted; additional varieties are manufactured using various flavourings and ingredients including seasonings, herbs, spices, cheeses, and artificial additives.

French fries (American English) or chips, fries, finger chips, or French-fried potatoes are batons of deep-fried potato. Americans and most Canadians refer to any elongated pieces of fried potatoes as fries, while in the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, long, thinly cut slices of fried potatoes are sometimes called fries to distinguish them from the more thickly cut strips called chips.
