Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas (gluten-free or grain-free, as needed)
- Avocado or olive oil spray
- Salt, to sprinkle
Instructions
- Prepare Workspace: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Cut Spooky Shapes: Stack 2-3 tortillas together and use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to press firmly and cut out fun shapes. Carefully place each cut-out shape in a single layer on the lined baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap to guarantee even baking.
- Oil and Season: Lightly spray both sides of the tortilla shapes with avocado or olive oil spray to promote golden crispiness. Generously and evenly sprinkle salt over the tortilla pieces for balanced seasoning.
- Bake to Crispy Perfection: Bake the shaped tortillas in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning as oven temperatures can vary. If using multiple sheets, rotate them halfway through cooking for even baking.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, immediately transfer the chips to a wire cooling rack and let them cool completely. As they cool, the chips will become even crispier. Serve fresh or store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
Notes
- Use gluten-free or grain-free tortillas if you have dietary restrictions or prefer a healthier alternative.
- For added flavor, sprinkle with additional seasonings such as chili powder, cumin, or paprika before baking.
- Make sure not to overlap the tortilla shapes on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Store baked chips in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispiness.
- Keep a close watch during baking since thinner shapes may brown faster.
