Avocado Crisps Recipe

Ingredients:

• Fresh Avocado
• All-Purpose Flour
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Coarse Sea Salt (optional for chips)

How to make Baked Avocado Chips

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Dough:

In a small bowl, mash half an avocado well with a fork until smooth.

Add 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the mashed avocado. Mix well until a dough forms. It might feel a bit tough at first, but keep mixing, and it will come together without needing to add any liquid.

Roll and Cut the Dough:

Lightly flour a flat surface or cutting board. Knead the dough a few times to bring it together.

Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to 1/8″ thickness. With a pastry cutter or knife, cut the dough into cracker-sized pieces.

Baking:

Place the cracker pieces on a baking sheet.

If you like, sprinkle coarse sea salt over the crackers for added flavor.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes for a cracker-like texture or 15 minutes for a crispier chip-like texture.

After baking, remove the crisps from the oven and let them cool completely on the pan. This will help them crisp up further.

Customization and Tips:

• For a flavor twist, consider adding your favorite seasonings, like everything bagel seasoning or sea salt, to the dough before baking.
• These crackers pair wonderfully with dips (use gauc!) or can add a crunch to your salads.

Avocado Pasta Alternative:

With a simple adjustment, the same dough can be transformed into a soft, dumpling-like avocado pasta. Boil the shaped dough instead of baking (we did for 3 minutes), and serve with your favorite pasta sauce for a comforting meal.

Remember that this is more of a dumpling dough than a hard version of original pasta as its made with avocado. Like regular pasta recipes, it wont have hoards of flavor, but is still worth a try with a sauce based meal like Gigi Hadid sauce.
