Chips
If you are a fan of chips, you will surely love this quick and healthy flatbread chip recipe! It is an excellent alternative to traditional chips and tortillas, providing you with a crunchy and flavorful snack, perfect for any occasion.
To get started, prepare the necessary ingredients. You will need a traditional Lebanese flatbread, which can be found in specialty stores or ethnic markets. I prefer Markouk graham bread for its fine texture and delicious taste. You will also need extra virgin olive oil, which will add a touch of flavor and help achieve that perfect crunch. Spices are essential to give an extra flavor to the chips; you will need thyme, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sumac.
Start by cutting the flatbread into triangles or, if you prefer, you can tear it into small pieces for a varied texture. Place the pieces of flatbread in a large bowl, generously drizzle them with olive oil, and add your desired spices. Mix well so that each piece is evenly coated with oil and spices. This will be the flavorful base of your chips.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. While the oven is heating, prepare a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned flatbread pieces on the tray, making sure they do not overlap so they bake evenly. Bake the chips for about 10 minutes or until they become crispy and golden. You will notice the delicious aroma of the spices spreading throughout the kitchen.
Once the chips are ready, let them cool slightly before serving. They are perfect as a healthy snack between meals or as an appetizer at a party. You can also use these chips to complement the popular Lebanese Fattoush salad, adding a crunchy and savory element. Try this simple and tasty recipe and enjoy a delicious snack that will delight your taste buds!
