Extra Easy: Syn free crisps?

[Samantha26]

where do you got the microwave stand from? Syns or not I wanna give these crisps a go

I got mine from eBay, £2.99 free delivery

Are they worth the 4 syns? X

 

[Samantha26]

Yes, but to be honest I made them once and couldn't be bothered with the hassle of making them again

 

[Daisydolly]

Yeah sometimes more hassle than it's worth eh! Xxx

Parsnip, beetroot, carrot and sweet potatoes are all good if you're doing them in the oven then fry light and a little salt works wonders!

I really like them, if your a crisp lover then there worth the hassle and 4 syns!!

If u spray a plate with frylight & arrange the thinly sliced potato so that they dont overlap & spray again with frylight - micro until crispy, i then put them in a sandwich bag & use my garlic & chilli salt grinder on them.

I sprinkle mine with a bit of salt after patted them dry a bit before putting them in the microwave, never needed to use spraylight :-D

I have to say, I don't really get why these crisps wouldn't be syn free? I mean, if you cover a potato in fry light and put it in the oven to make slimming world chips - that's syn free. So why does the act of chopping up the potato really small make it a synnable food? I just don't understand it.

Have a look at Patchwork's post further up. It's about levels of water in the vegetable and therefore the power to fill you up.

Thanks a mil. I read that. But it appears that SW assume that you will over indulge on them. I limit myself to one baby potato when I make them. I try to eat free on breakfast, lunch and dinner and I never use my full syns.... So i'd find it a bit of an injustice to have to syn an extra baby potato.

So don't syn your one potato. I don't either, if I ever make them. But I don't syn it knowing that I'm "cheating" the plan and it's possible that tweaks like that can add up to be a problem. So far, it hasn't been.

Ok great. Thank you.
