Ingredients
Scale
Chips
- 4 flour tortillas (gluten-free or grain-free, as needed)
- Avocado oil spray or olive oil spray, for misting
- Salt, to taste
- Halloween ghost-shaped cookie cutter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) and lightly grease a cookie sheet to prepare for baking the chips.
- Cut Tortilla Shapes: Working with one tortilla at a time, use the ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut out ghost-shaped chips. Aim to get about 5-6 ghosts from each tortilla by placing the cuts as close together as possible to minimize waste.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer all the cutout ghost tortilla shapes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space to crisp evenly.
- Oil and Season: Lightly mist the ghost-shaped chips with avocado or olive oil spray, then sprinkle them lightly with salt to taste.
- Bake: Bake the chips in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until they are crisp and lightly golden on the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve with your choice of salsa, guacamole, or a warm seasonal soup like Pumpkin Taco Soup for a festive treat.
Notes
- Use 100% avocado oil or olive oil spray without additives or propellants for the best flavor and health benefits.
- If you cannot find oil sprays, you can brush the chips lightly with oil using a pastry brush and also brush the baking pan to avoid sticking.
- These chips are best eaten fresh for maximum crispiness.
- Try to cut shapes close together to reduce tortilla waste.
