Instead of tearing open a bag of potato crisps, why not try making some vegetable crisps for an equally tasty but far healthier, lower calorie snack. You can choose from a variety of vegetables – carrots, parsnips, beetroot, sweet potatoes, but here we opted for spinach seeing as it’s currently in season and we were able to pick it straight from the garden. These are easy to do, and seriously moorish, plus they’re a lot better for you than your average bowl of crisps!
