Do you need from time to time a quick salt-fix? As former potato chips addict I know, I do! These self-made savoy cabbage chips are a healthier alternative to regular potato chips. On top of that these clean eating snacks are super easy to prepare with just a few ingredients.

The smart solution for potato chips junkies

For me baking these skinny vegetable snacks was a little revolution in my kitchen.

See…I just can't have any potato chips at home without risking to relapse. Although I'm into clean eating for quite a while, I still can't resist a bag of potato chips – even if I'd hide it in my pantry. I think the food industry successfully washed my brain in my twenties. The knowledge alone that I have this salty snack at home is enough that my mind revolves around this potato junk until I've eaten the whole bag.

In consequence I have never ever any junk food at home. This strategy works perfectly for me although I sometimes really miss a salty and crunchy snack. Not anymore…these savoy cabbage snacks have all of the beloved salty bite and crunch of potato chips but none of the guilt.

A tasty, elegant snack idea

  • Author: Gabi Rupp
  • Prep Time: 10
  • Cook Time: 45
  • Total Time: 55

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 savoy cabbage leaves
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt, pepper
  • Chili pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300F/150 C° (regular baking oven) or 250F/120 C° (convection oven).
  2. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Remove leaves from the stems of the cabbage and roughly cut them into medium pieces. (Freeze stems for smoothies)
  4. Wash and spin the vegetable leaves until thoroughly dry.
  5. Put savoy cabbage leaves into a large bowl.
  6. Massage in the olive oil until all leaves are lightly coated.
  7. Now sprinkle on the salt and pepper/Chili pepper and toss to combine.
  8. Spread out the savoy cabbage onto the two oven racks in a single layer each, making sure not to overcrowd the leaves.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes until they are completely dry and crisp. Veggies will look shrunken, but this is normal.
  10. The crunchy chips taste the best immediately after cooling down.

Notes

  • You can store them in an airtight container for up to a week but I recommend to serve them immediately after baking.

Don't be trapped by store bought veggie crap

Maybe until now you thought that healthy chips that are also really crunchy and tasty don't exist? Or it's the opposite and you enjoy already store bought vegetable chips, thinking they are healthy?

Don't be trapped by the trendy kale chips and others vegetable snacks based on carrots, beets, parsnips, red cabbage etc. Although the word “veggie” in the title makes consumers believe they are healthy it is just a clever marketing trick.

The processing of store bought vegetable chips remains the same as with the junk food. And also when it comes to fat and calories, they’re pretty much in the same ballpark as fried potato chips.
