[QUOTE="smidge, post: 364650, member: 29301"] Hi Andy - and everyone else! Butternut squash is 8.9g carb per 100g raw weight according to my calories, carbs and fat bible. Butternut squash chips are lovely, but the squash is quite heavy and I find I can only have a small portion before it spikes me (although I'm LADA and take insulin, so you'll need to test before and 2 hours after eating it to see what effect it has on you). Celeriac chips are OK, but I prefer butternut squash - butternut squash roast 'potatoes' are also preferable to celeriac ones in my book and go particularly well with roast lamb I find. In terms of lower carb chips, I use swede - cut a swede into chips, cover in a little melted butter and put in the oven for about 25 minutes turning occasionally. Swede is only 5g carb per 100g raw weight, so you can have a bigger portion :) Smidge [/QUOTE]
