Ingredients
- 1 large avocado, peeled and pitted
- ¾ cup Parmesan cheese, fresh, grated
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- Pinch of salt, to tast
- Dash of freshly ground black pepper, adjusted to your preference
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Mash the Avocado: In a medium bowl, mash the peeled and pitted avocado until smooth. Ensure there are no large chunks.
- Add the Seasonings: Add the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper to the mashed avocado.
- Form the Chips: Using a small spoon, scoop out portions of the avocado mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each portion with the back of the spoon to form thin, round chips. Make sure the chips are spread out evenly and not too thick.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool on the sheet for a few minutes. The chips will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Serve: Once cooled, carefully remove the avocado chips from the parchment paper. Enjoy right away or keep in an airtight container for later use.
