These chips are better than what you can buy and so much kinder on the wallet! Even better? They’re much easier to make at home than you may think. Crunchy, cheesy, and garlicky, they make a healthy salty snack, or you can branch out and try them crumbled over salads, soups, or casseroles. To achieve a super crispy texture, dry them well after rinsing. And don’t crowd them on one pan. Spread the leaves in a single layer between two pans so that they’ll cook evenly and won’t steam and wilt. Store them in airtight container—they’ll stay crisp up to 3 days.
