Crispy, golden, and irresistibly delicious, these homemade oven chips are the ultimate healthier alternative to traditional fried fries. Made with just a handful of simple ingredients—like russet potatoes, olive oil, and a touch of seasoning—this recipe delivers perfectly seasoned potato sticks with a satisfying crunch. The secret lies in rinsing away excess starch and baking the chips in a single layer for even crisping. Customize them with optional garlic powder and paprika for an extra flavor boost. With just 15 minutes of prep and 35 minutes in the oven, these guilt-free oven-baked chips are the perfect side dish or snack. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauces, and enjoy a homemade treat that rivals any restaurant fry!
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and peel the potatoes, if desired. Slice them into even 1/4-inch thick sticks to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Return the dried potato slices to the bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using). Toss again to make sure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none of the slices overlap for even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then use a spatula to flip the chips. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them near the end to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet. This helps them crisp up further.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, and enjoy your homemade oven chips!
