Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado
- ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
How to Make Avocado Chips – Step-by-Step
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Mash the Avocado
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash until smooth using a fork or potato masher. Stir in the lemon juice to preserve color and add brightness.
3️⃣ Add Seasonings
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
4️⃣ Assemble the Chips
Spread the mashed avocado onto the lined baking sheet in a thin, even layer about ¼ inch thick. Sprinkle Parmesan evenly over the top. Finish with the seasoning mix, distributing it across the surface.
5️⃣ Bake
Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp.
6️⃣ Cool & Serve
Allow the chips to cool on the pan until firm. Once cool, break into pieces or slice into squares or triangles with a knife or pizza cutter.
Tips for Success
- Use Ripe Avocado: It should mash smoothly and have a rich, buttery texture.
- Don’t Spread Too Thick: Aim for consistent thickness to ensure even baking.
- Cool Completely: The chips firm up as they cool—don’t skip this step!
- Upgrade the Flavor: Add crushed red pepper, smoked paprika, or even Everything Bagel seasoning for a twist.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Store: Keep chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer shelf life, refrigerate and re-crisp in the oven before serving.
