Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for coating, optional)
- 1/4 cup cornmeal (optional, for extra crunch)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh and cut it into thin slices (about 1/8-inch thick).
- Season the avocado slices: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the avocado slices and toss gently to coat.
- Coat with flour and cornmeal (optional): If you want extra crispiness, you can lightly coat the avocado slices in a mixture of flour and cornmeal. Place the slices in a shallow bowl and toss them gently until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the avocado slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
- Bake the chips: Bake the avocado slices in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, as oven times can vary. For extra crispness, you can flip them halfway through baking.
- Cool and serve: Once the avocado chips are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite dip, like salsa, guacamole, or a creamy yogurt dip.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix.
- These chips are best served fresh, as they may lose their crispness after sitting for too long.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, skip the flour and use more cornmeal.
