Zusammenfassung:	The present invention is directed towards a method for making a healthy s nack food having an appearance and taste similar to conventional fried snack products without the use of an oil-frying process. The method of the presen t invention includes the steps of providing food slices from a starch-based food or dough. The food slices can be blanched and a controlled amount of oi l can be added to enhance final organoleptical properties. The food slices a re then rapidly dehydrated to a much lower moisture content in a primary dry ing step that simulates conventional frying dehydration rates. A food snack, such as a corn or potato-based snack, produced by this method is a low-fat, ready- to- eat snack having the conventional texture and taste associated w ith fried snack products.
