The method of making deep-fried crisps remained in the past after popularizing a healthy diet. Henceforth, most people prepare a crunchy snack in a wind oven or drying cabinet (dehydrator), or their own microwave, saving thereby not only liters of oil, but also the resources of their own organism. In the recipes, we will now talk about the method of cooking in a microwave oven, thanks to which it will be possible to save also a huge amount of time.
Potato chips in the microwave
Whatever one may say, the most popular chips were and still are classic ones, those based on potato tubers. We'll start with them.
Ingredients:
- potato tubers of medium size - 3 pcs .;
- olive oil - 45 ml;
- sea salt, white pepper - to taste;
- sprigs of rosemary - 3 pcs.
Preparation
The main trick in preparing potato chips , as well as any chips in general, is thin cutting. Potatoes must be cut into really very thin, almost translucent slices, which is very convenient to make shredding. After the tubers are sliced, rinse them with iced water in order to get rid of the excess starch. This simple trick will make the chips even crisper. After washing, pieces of potatoes are dried on napkins or towels, as removing excess moisture is also critically important for a crisp texture. To water potato slices with oil is not necessary, it is, rather, another flavor additive, like rosemary with salt and pepper, with which the chips should be sprinkled before being sent to the microwave.
Now about how to make chips at home in the microwave: place the slices in the device in one layer and cook for a maximum power of 3 minutes. Then lower the power twice, turn the pieces to the other side and dry for 3 more minutes. If, after the final drying, some of the pieces are moist, add another minute of time.

Homemade cheese chips in a microwave oven
Cheese chips are good not only as an independent snack, but also as an addition to salads or canapés, which looks very delicately on a serving dish.
We do not need anything other than the grated hard cheese. Cover the dish in the microwave with a sheet of parchment. In the center of the sheet, lay a tablespoon with a slice of grated cheese. Distribute the cheese with a thin layer of fingers, then cook the chips in the microwave for 30-40 seconds at maximum power.
