Ready-made potato chips are considered one of the tastiest snacks, but it's well-known that they can be quite unhealthy due to various additives. Experts have pointed out the potential harm of consuming store-bought chips, which can lead to a range of health issues from brain damage to obesity, mainly due to the presence of monosodium glutamate.

Wouldn't you like to enjoy the deliciousness of chips while ensuring they're made with natural ingredients? We've prepared a recipe for homemade ketchup chips for you. Here are the ingredients:

1 sheet of pastry dough
1 tablespoon of ketchup
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of salt

As you can see, making chips at home is quite simple. We've opted for pastry dough instead of potatoes for a texture and taste closest to real chips. With the addition of ketchup sauce, you'll achieve a flavor similar to store-bought ketchup chips, but in a healthier and more delicious homemade version.

If we move on to the preparation process for the homemade ketchup chips:

- Start by cutting the pastry dough into triangle or circular shapes using a knife or pizza cutter. We used a pizza cutter for its convenience in this homemade ketchup chips recipe, but you can also use a knife. The shape is entirely up to you, whether you prefer triangles or circles. However, for more efficiency and to prevent excess dough, triangular shapes are recommended.

- Once you've cut the dough into chip-like shapes, place them in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, and 1 teaspoon of salt. After preparing the homemade ketchup chip sauce, pour it over the cut dough, ensuring that each piece is well coated. You might need to knead it a bit by hand, but it's a straightforward process.

- Arrange the dough pieces, now coated with ketchup chip sauce, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the homemade ketchup chips in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 5 to 10 minutes, keeping a close eye on them. Due to the dough's nature, they will brown quickly, so check them periodically. Once they're crispy and golden, you can remove them from the oven and let them cool a bit before serving.

This homemade ketchup chips recipe yields a delicious snack. The crispy texture combined with the taste of pastry and ketchup creates a flavor very close to store-bought chips.

Given that we often don't know what's in store-bought snacks and they can contain numerous additives, some of which are unhealthy and contribute to obesity, making healthy homemade chips like this can be a great option for your children.

As you can see, this homemade ketchup chips recipe is incredibly practical. Making chips at home doesn't take much time at all. Cutting the dough and preparing the sauce can be done quickly and effortlessly.

Feel free to add spices like oregano, seasoning, or black pepper according to your taste. In this recipe, we kept it simple with just salt to let the ketchup flavor shine through.
