Baked Avocado Chips
Description
These homemade chips are low-card and gluten-free. They are delicious and taste like guacamole in a crispy chip.
Ingredients
1 large, ripe avocado, peeled, seed removed
3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese (don't reduce this amount since this helps with crispiness)
1 t. lemon juice (to prevent avocado from turning bitter when baked)
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. onion powder
1/8 t. ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 (half sheet 12"x 13") baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats, to ensure that the chips will easily come off once baked.
In a medium bowl, add avocado; mash with a spoon until completely smashed. Add cheese, lemon juice, pepper, garlic and onion powders. Stir until evenly blended and cheese is evenly spread throughout the batter.
Add 1 heaping teaspoons of batter to prepared baking sheet, spacing each dollop 3 inches apart. 12 chips should fit on each half sheet pan.
Cut a sheet of parchment paper to fit each pan. Place on top of avocado batter mounds. Using the palm of your hand, with your hand on top of the parchment paper, gently flatten each mound. Don't touch the avocado directly.
Use the parchment paper to help shape the avocado into flat circles.
Gently peel back the paper. Scrape off any avocado that is stuck on the parchment paper and place back onto rounds. Use the back of a spoon to finish shaping rounds, making sure they're evenly spread and as thin as possible. The rounds should be 3" wide and 1/16" inches" thick. It's important that the rounds are as thin as possible or the chips won't get crispy.
Bake chips for about 15 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown. Gently flip the chips with a thin cookie spatula. Bake another 2-3 minutes on the second side, keeping watch carefully to make sure cheese doesn't turn dark brown.
Let chips cool completely. Chips will crisp up further as they cool. They are the best after they have cooled.
Makes 24 chips.
Uneaten chips should be stored in a sealed ziploc bag. They might lose some of their crispness.
