15 Homemade Fruit and Vegetable Chip Recipes

As much as we love a crispy, salty, crunchy potato chip, there's something to be said for healthier, more nutrient-packed alternatives. From Beet Chips to Baked Plantain Chips, we're sharing some of our tastiest recipes for crisps, and they're all made from your favorite fruit and vegetables that aren't potatoes.

Whether you're looking for a new flavor, like our Citrus Chips, pictured here, or something that's just a little bit better for you than potatoes, any of our healthy vegetable and fruit alternatives are guaranteed to satisfy your craving for a crunchy snack. Plus, they're just as addictive but offer more nutrition and contain much less oil and salt. Perhaps one of the more unique takes on crunchy, salty, chips are our Cabbage Chips. Only calling for three ingredients—cabbage, salt, and extra virgin olive oil—this tasty snacks offers a fraction of the caloric qualities as a batch of Classic Potato Chips.

But who said vegetables get to have all the fun? Fruit can also become a scrumptious chip. One of the best fruits for crisping are plantains, and our Plantain Chips are a crave-worthy snack you'll want to make time and time again. That's because baking the naturally sweet banana-like fruit brings out a saltier, starchier taste. Our recipe uses vegetable oil, coarse salt, ground pepper, and two pounds of plantains. Pair yours with our Pico de Gallo for what's sure to be an instant favorite. Full of fiber and deliciously sweet, Apple Chips are another great option. Pack them in your child's lunch box or enjoy them yourself as a late-afternoon snack.

Whether you go sweet or savory, these better-for-you chips make a delicious snack any time of day.
