Paprika oven chips
|
|
Chips are a very versatile food. With home baked oven chips you
can vary the flavour very simply by sprinkling on herbs and spices. This
version is very simple. Sprinkle on some paprika just before baking the chips in
the oven. The Hungarians use lots of paprika in their cooking and they have got
it right. Not only does this spice add flavour to a broad range of foods but it
colours it as well. |
