A fabulous recipe all round here – perfect for nibbles any night, whether entertaining or sitting on the sofa watching TV. Incredibly simply to prepare, low in calories (about 60 for 20 crisps), low in fat and deliciously light. They taste like they are fried but are actually oven baked and so pretty damned healthy! Even more scrummy served with some garlicky mayonnaise…
