Green Gold Rush: Crispy Avo-Slices That’ll Bankrupt Your Chip Addiction!

Crispy, savory, and surprisingly easy to make—avocado chips are my new favorite snack for those moments when I’m craving something crunchy but want to keep it healthy. The idea came to me when I had a few overly ripe avocados that were too soft for toast but perfect for something baked. Instead of letting them go to waste, I whipped up these chips, and let me tell you, they’ve been a hit ever since.

What makes these avocado chips so special is their simplicity. With just a handful of ingredients—ripe avocado, a sprinkle of parmesan, and a bit of seasoning—you can create a light and crispy snack that’s loaded with flavor.

They come out of the oven golden, with the rich, buttery taste of avocado balanced by a cheesy crunch. Plus, they’re a fantastic alternative to store-bought chips when you’re trying to avoid processed snacks. I love serving them with Yogurt With Honey as a dip for that extra tangy sweetness that complements the savory crunch.

Helpful Tips For You!

Tip 1: Parmesan Cheese is Essential

The parmesan cheese is what makes these chips crispy. Don’t reduce the amount, as it’s crucial for the texture and crispiness of the chips.

Tip 2: Add Lemon Juice to Reduce Bitterness

Baked avocados can turn bitter, so add lemon juice to the batter. The acidity helps mask any bitterness that develops during baking.
