Vege chips (with dairy free cheese sauce)

Vege chips (with dairy free cheese sauce)

As any allergy intolerant person would know, commercially made chips usually come with the disclaimer that 'our fryers are used to cook everything else you can't have'. So, why not home make delicious vege chips, plus, they are only shallow fried, not deep fried.

And, you're going to want to bookmark our dairy free cheese sauce for later because it is the perfect base for carbonara, cheese sauce for lasagne and more!
