Abstract:
A cooking process for food chip products that does not involve oil-based cooking. The process includes slicing and/or shaping food, washing starch from the sliced or shaped food with water and forming multiple layers of the food product. The multiple-layered food product is baked in an impingement oven under conditions sufficient to form a fluidized bed of layered food product. The pressure is varied within the impingement oven to further release moisture. After baking, the food chips are dried and optionally seasoned.
