I can’t eat eat white potatoes and there is a portion of the world that is in the same boat as me. Potatoes are nightshades, which some are allergic to due to their higher concentration of alkaloids, and some can’t eat because of their high glycemic index rating. Whatever the reason, I have to say…I missed chips! I love guacamole and dipping a carrot in it just wasn’t the same. When I realized there were alternatives to the good old potato chip, I smiled so big and goofy I almost embarrassed myself. The alternatives lie in other root veggies such as sweet potatoes and beats. You can make these chips yourself or buy them at the store (I get mine at Whole Foods). They are so good! The only problem, such as with regular potato chips….it’s hard to eat just one!
ONE
Sweet Potato chips by Food Should Taste Good. This brand is my favorite. Think kettle chips, only the sweet potato version. On top of sweet potato, they have many other rad snacks.
TWO
Root chips by Terra Original. This company sells a mean mixed bag of root chips. You can get sweet potato, beets and parsnips all in one bag.
THREE
Apple chips by Seneca. I have not yet tried the apple chips, but they are on my list. If you get to them before me, let me know what you think.
FOUR
Cinnamon sweet potato chips by Terra Original. These are like a desert chip. They are SO FREAKING GOOD.
FIVE
Make your own sweet potato chips! It’s takes some time to figure out the perfect cooking time (depending on your ovens temperament), but other than that- piece of cake!
