For tortilla chips or Doritos slimming world way.

Get some dreid lasagna sheets, cut into triangle shapes either with knife or scissors.

Spray fry light onto baking tray and get this nice and hot inthe oven say around gas 7. When hot take out put your lasagna triangles on it, spray with fry light and sprinkle with bbq seasoning, Season All is nice or any flavours you like. Those Schartz shots are supposed to be nice as well.

Put back in oven and then bake for around 10 mins I think will fish out recipe and double check. They should be puffed up and crunchy. Enjoy. xx

we tend to par boil our lasagne sheets before cutting them and then coat with fry light and cook in the oven with or without seasoning - like I say - fiddly but worth it for syn free green snaxs

i cuit into chip shape then coat in olive oil and rosemary and just put in oven and cook same a normal oven chips i just toss them about every 10-20 minutes to make sure they stay evenly coated with rosemary, they are yummy and just give a more warming feeling to them

Kittie - don't please!!! I was at Lakeland yesterday and spent £130 - and had to tear myself away from the actifry... I can justify these things myself without you adding to the list of reasons for me to get one!!

Am sure I saw this for about £50 in costco. If I go in again soon will post the price - thought it looked really good but wasn't sure if getting it would make me even more unhealthy than I am

oops - saw other post saying its £100 in costco - sorry about the misinformation

My little sis works in a pizza take-away, they sprinkle them with paprika, they are lovely...

Just bumping this thread as I was in Costco today - only went in for a box of clementines and ended up buying an Actifry. All night I have left it, boxed, on the worktop and just can't decide whether or not to take it back tomorrow. I would love to know what anyone who owns one thinks of it. I make lots of oven chips and oven wedges and find that my oven seems to be constantly in use of an evening with DD1 and her friends making stuff, but I just don't know if I can justify the £100 spend.

hi all
i used to own a deep fat fryer, but got fed up with smell, and sticky grease on cupboards yuk!!
if we have chips now, we normally buy chippy ones but are now £1.40 per bag:eek: . i cant keep this up anymore, i cant stand oven frozen chips too soggy, and ive been down route of saucepan with oil, but its a storage and safety problem then. after watching gordon ramsay cooking chips in oven, just wondered if anyone tried this. i dont have olive oil, only crisp n dry, got desiree pots, will they just taste like roast pots though??
kind regards mel

I've been making my own wedges/chips for a while now and they're quite nice (I pinched the idea from those packets you can buy for flavoured wedges!)

* Peel and chop your spuds into the desired shape (I do wedges)

* Bung in a large (non-metallic) bowl and slurp some oil on (any old oil that's around)

* Add some herbs/spices or just salt and pepper

* Microwave for about 5 mins to start the cooking process

* Spread on a baking tray and bung in the oven (about 180C) for approx half an hour or until they have achieved your desired level of crispiness.

They always turn out well, if not very chippy chip like. Otherwise, if I use frozen oven chips I always cook them for about 10 minutes longer for extra crisp.
