The waiter asks if you want chips with your sandwich. Of course you want them, but you pass, anyway. Smart move. When you skip the potato chips, you save room for a healthy alternative. You can still have the lightly seasoned, hearty crunch you love, but these baked vegetable chips come with loads of fiber and vitamin C. Fennel, the stalky garden delight with feathery green leaves and a big white bulb is sliced into rounds to make low-carb crisps. Your next move: grab the check and run to your oven.
