Aunt Rocky’s Spicy Guacamole Chips (Grain-Free, Low Carb)

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat; set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, mash avocado until smooth (I use a fork). Add lime juice and spices, and mix well blended and very smooth.

Stir in cheese, and mix well. The mixture should now be thick enough to use a cookie scoop.

Use a 1-inch cookie scoop to scoop batter onto the baking sheet, leaving some room between each ball so you can flatten it. The batter should make 12 mounds. (If you don’t have a small cookie scoop, use about 1 tablespoon of batter for each chip, dividing evenly between 12 mounds.)

Use your wet fingers to flatten the mounds somewhat. Then wet the bottom of a flat bottom glass, small bowl, or measuring cup to continue flattening the chips. You want them to be about 2.5” across, which will make them very flat. You’ll need to dip the glass in water between pressing each chip, or the batter will stick to the glass.

Sprinkle the sea salt lightly over the chips.

Bake until top is golden all over, and the chips look like they are getting crispy, about 25–30 minutes. Gently transfer to cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Makes 12 chips.
