# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get that perfect balance of crispy edges and naturally sweet flavor without any deep frying or guilt.
  • These chips are crazy simple to make with just a handful of ingredients you probably already have.
  • Theyre endlessly customizable, so you can play with spices and make them your own every single time.
02 -
  • Slicing thickness is everything, even one chip thats too thick will stay floppy while the rest turn golden.
  • Dont skip the flip halfway through or youll end up with chips that are crispy on one side and soft on the other.
  • Let them cool completely on the tray, they continue crisping up as they sit.
03 -
  • Use a mandoline if you have one, it makes slicing faster and way more consistent.
  • Rotate your baking sheets halfway through so every chip gets even heat and color.
  • If your oven runs hot, drop the temp to 375°F and keep a close eye during the last few minutes.
