Turn Avocado Into A Perfect Crunchy Snack With 3 Extra Ingredients

Have you grown tired of your weekly avocado toast? While you can certainly use select cheeses to give your avocado toast a creamy boost or prepare new recipes like chicken salad-stuffed avocados, sometimes the soft consistency of avocado leaves something to be desired. If you wish there was a way to give this velvety fruit more crunch, your wish is granted. With a few extra ingredients, you can transform creamy avocados into easy-to-eat chips. The best part about making this creative recipe is that it only requires mashed avocado, shredded parmesan cheese, a raw egg, and seasoning.

To make crispy avocado chips, combine mashed avocado, the egg, and cheese in a mixing bowl and then portion the mixture out onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone liners. While you can make any size chips you want, for easy snacking, keep them on the smaller side and make sure to leave enough room between each one so they have space to bake and crisp up. 

Since this three-ingredient batter is quite sticky, use the back of a spoon to flatten each portion or oil your hands if you plan on forming the mixture yourself. Alternatively, you can lay a sheet of parchment paper over the top of your prepared baking sheet and flatten each scoop from the outside of the paper. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and these delicious snacks will be ready to eat in 30 minutes.

Thanks to social media, one TikTok user showcases the simplicity of preparing these basic snacks with tips to make perfectly crispy avocado chips every time.  First, make sure you're using a ripe avocado which means your fruit should be slightly firm but give with applied pressure. If you need a reliable way to ripen avocados faster, simply place unripe fruit in a rolled-up paper bag.

Next, make sure you're using the recommended amount of cheese. In the TikTok video, this particular chef uses 1 cup of parmesan for every avocado. It may seem like a lot, but the reason that creamy and smooth avocado is able to crisp up in the first place has everything to do with the added parmesan.

Once you feel comfortable making this simple recipe, feel free to add in extras like almond flour, lemon juice or lime zest, and a variety of seasonings like garlic powder or smoked paprika. Everything but the bagel seasoning is also a solid choice. 

Depending on your comfort level, you can also adjust the size of your chips. Instead of making two-bite snacks, form the mixture into large, tortilla-like rounds. To achieve crispy edges, remember to spread the mixture out thin before baking. Then, enjoy! Delicious avocado chips can be used to scoop up your favorite dip or folded to house your favorite sandwich fixings.
