Low carb chips

[moonchip]

Well, my De'Longho Multifry arrived today and as well as easily making my wife scampi & chips in it (23 mins) I also had an experiment with low carbohydrate chips

Or if you're an American (as I know there are a few on the site ) - french fries

Rather than potatoes (19 grams of carbs per 100 grams uncooked weight) I followed an online posting and made them with swede which is 5.2 grams per 100 gr

Oh My God !!! They actually taste nicer to me than potatoe based chips. Subtle flavour difference slightly akin to mild parsnip but incredibly delicious.

Not an everyday thing, more a treat once or twice a week but scrumptious

With the swede being denser than a spud, I cooked them for 25 mins - will experiment in the future with spices in with the oil. Paprika &/or garlic perhaps, not too much, just a hint

Thanks I don't have a fryer but I'd never think to make chips from swede! Will definitely try these in the oven tonight!

@moonchip I love celeriac chips made in the actifry. I add the spices near the end otherwise they burn and look nasty.

Hello @Charisma_1630 - you don't need a fryer, I was just playing with my new kitchen toy

You can cook them perfectly well in the oven, and they're so cheap

Here is the link I followed for inspiration http://ketodietapp.com/Blog/post/2013/05/08/Low-carb-French-Fries

I tried celeriac chips and found them far too sweet - even for me and I've got a very sweet tooth. Might have to give the swede ones a go
