If you stop and think about it, potato chips are basically the unofficial snack food of summer. There are so many cookouts, beach and pool days, ballgames, and picnics, and it's easy to throw a store-bought bag in the car to feel like you've made a contribution to the spread—but you're not exactly doing your health any favors by relying on chips' convenience factor.
The good news? With a little prep work (not too much, we promise!) you can make your own healthier alternative. Whether you want sweet, salty, or something totally out-of-the-box, we tapped our favorite food bloggers for delicious options that will help you step up your chip game this summer:
