What can be an alternative to crisp?!


Question: What can be an alternative to crisp!?
Please do not suggest apples or carrot sticks!.
Something healthy, won't make your hands sticky and is delicious (apples and carrot sticks are delicious, yes, but boring!)

You can make your own fat free crisps!. Cut your potatoes into very thin slices, put onto a baking sheet lined with tinfoil and sprayed with FriLite (which you can get at any supermarket), then spray the top of the potato slices with FriLite and cook in a very hot oven until crisp!. You can do the same thing with chickpeas (drain a tin of cooked chickpeas, cover with seasoning salt and spray with FriLite and cook the same way) or with lasagne (cook the lasagne sheets, cut into triangles or cook the same way)!. All of these are delicious!.
Popcorn is another good idea - you can get a variety that can be cooked in the microwave (be sure to get the plain version, not one that is covered in butter or sugar)!. Or rice cakes, spread with a little bit of quark and marmite!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hows about making your own crisps!?

What my mum usually does, is she slices some potatoes, and fries them in oil, and then she bakes them in the oven and adds some seasoning to it (salt, cheese) stuff like that!.

Or you can buy some tortilla wraps, rip them into little pieces, put them in the grill or oven, and you got tortilla crisps!. The tortilla crisps even taste nice on their own without any flavourings!. (Again, you can add some cheese on top, or salt and vinegar, or some onions)

Just think of something out of the ordinary!Www@FoodAQ@Com
