Vegetable straws or vegetable chips (also referred to as veggie straws or veggie chips) are chips (crisps) that are prepared using vegetables other than potatoes. Vegetable chips may be fried, deep-fried, dehydrated, dried, or baked. Many different root vegetables or leaf vegetables may be used. Vegetable straws or chips may be eaten as a snack food and may accompany other foods such as dips, or be used as a topping on dishes. In the United States, vegetable straws or chips are often mass-produced, with many brands marketed to consumers.
While potato chips are technically considered "vegetable chips," since they are the most common form of chips, any other kind of vegetable-based chip is grouped in a separate category.
