How To Make Avocado Chips At Home
Step 1
Mash 1 ripe avocado in a medium bowl until smooth. Mix in shredded cheese until well combined.
Step 2
Scoop heaping teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 3 inches apart (about 12 per sheet). Flatten each mound using a parchment sheet placed on top, and press gently with your palm to form thin, round discs. Garnish it with bagel seasoning.
Step 3
Place the baking tray in the oven and bake the chips at 180 degrees centigrade for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Cool completely before eating. Chips will crisp up more as they cool. Store leftovers in a sealed bag (note: they may soften slightly).
Expert Tips That I Recommend
- Parmesan cheese is key to achieving a crisp texture; do not reduce its amount, as it becomes crispy when baked and retains the chip structure.
- Spread grated Parmesan evenly throughout the avocado batter to ensure all parts crisp equally; chips with too much pure avocado will be soft.
- Lemon juice masks the natural bitterness of baked avocado and should not be omitted.
- Ensure the batter is spread extremely thin (approximately 1/16 inch) to achieve perfect crisping. Thicker chips will be bitter and have a soft texture.
- Bake until the Parmesan is golden brown; underbaked chips remain soft and green, while overbaked chips become bitter from burnt cheese.
- Allow chips to cool fully after baking; they will crisp further as they cool.
- Using parchment paper or silicone mats makes it easy to remove the chips from the baking tray.
