Baguette chips are a quick and delicious snack that can be prepared with just a few simple ingredients. Perfect for dipping or enjoying on their own, these crisp and tasty chips are sure to become a favorite in your snack rotation. Follow this easy recipe to create your own batch of baguette chips.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your baguette chips bake evenly and get nicely crispy.
- Take the baguette and, using a sharp bread knife, slice it into thin rounds. Aim for slices that are about 1/4 inch thick. Thinner slices will crisp up better in the oven.
- Place the baguette slices in a large mixing bowl or directly on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the slices. Use your hands or a brush to make sure each slice is coated lightly with oil. This will help them crisp up and add a delicious flavor.
- Lightly season the oiled baguette slices with salt and pepper to taste. Remember, a little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more if you prefer.
- Arrange the seasoned baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure there is a little space between each slice to allow for even baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the baguette slices are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them as they can go from perfectly crisp to burnt quickly.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the baguette chips cool completely on the sheet. They will continue to crisp up a little as they cool.
- Once cooled, transfer the baguette chips to a serving platter. They make a great snack on their own or can be served with dips like hummus, cheese spreads, or bruschetta toppings.
With just a baguette, some olive oil, and a bit of seasoning, you can quickly whip up a batch of delicious and versatile baguette chips. Whether you enjoy them plain, with a dip, or topped with your favorite ingredients, these chips are a convenient and tasty option for any occasion. Enjoy your homemade baguette chips!
