Cool and Serve

Notes
- Avocado Ripeness: Use a ripe but firm avocado for the best results. An overly soft avocado may make the chips too wet and harder to crisp.
- Storage: Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Recrisping: If the chips lose their crispiness, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes.
- Customizable Seasoning: Feel free to experiment with spices like smoked paprika, chili powder, or cayenne for added heat and flavor.
