BBQ Apple Chips

BBQ Apple Chips offer a unique and flavorful twist on traditional apple chips. Thinly sliced apples are coated with a blend of smoky paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder, then baked until crispy. This seasoning mix imparts a savory BBQ flavor that complements the natural sweetness of the apples. The low and slow baking process ensures the chips turn out crisp and crunchy, making them an enjoyable and satisfying snack.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 2 medium apples, cored and thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

Procedure:

• Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Slice the apples into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
• In a small bowl, mix olive oil with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Brush or lightly coat both sides of each apple slice with the seasoned oil mixture.
• Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 to 2 hours, turning the slices halfway through, until the apples are crisp and dry.
• Allow the apple chips to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
