Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Avocado Base:
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 3/4 cup (177 milliliters) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by preheating the kitchen oven to a moderate temperature of 375°F (190°C) while gathering all necessary equipment.
- Carefully slice the ripe avocado into delicate, uniform translucent strips, ensuring each piece maintains a consistent thickness for even baking.
- Arrange the avocado strips meticulously on a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating a single layer without overlapping to guarantee optimal crispness.
- Create a flavor-enhancing seasoning blend by combining grated Parmesan cheese, bright lemon juice, and aromatic garlic powder in a mixing bowl.
- Distribute the zesty Parmesan mixture across the avocado strips with a gentle, even hand, ensuring complete coverage for maximum flavor absorption.
- Transfer the prepared baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the chips to transform into golden, crisp delicacies through precise roasting.
- Monitor the chips closely during the 10-12 minute cooking duration, watching for a perfect golden-brown color and crisp texture.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the avocado chips cool completely on the tray, allowing them to firm up and reach peak crunchiness.
- Serve the homemade chips immediately as a sophisticated, health-conscious snack that balances nutrition with gourmet appeal.
Notes
- Experiment with different cheese types like aged cheddar or nutritional yeast for varied flavor profiles and dietary needs.
- Slice avocados uniformly using a mandoline slicer to ensure consistent crispiness and even baking.
- Season with additional spices like smoked paprika or chili flakes to enhance the chips’ taste and add a subtle kick.
- Opt for firm, slightly underripe avocados to prevent soggy chips and achieve maximum crunchiness during baking.
