Common Mistakes to Avoid

3. Overcrowding the baking tray, preventing crisping.
4. Removing chips too early before they fully crisp while cooling.

Required Equipment

• Baking sheet — ensures even heat distribution.
• Parchment paper — prevents sticking and burning.
• Spoon or scoop — helps portion evenly.
• Oven — essential for achieving crisp texture.

Storage Recommendations

Store leftover chips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, reheat briefly in the oven or air fryer. Freezing is not recommended, as it affects crispness and moisture balance.
