Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Raw Brazil nuts
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife or mandoline, carefully slice the raw Brazil nuts into thin chips, about 1-2 millimeters thick. Be cautious as the nuts can be slippery.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Brazil nut slices with olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika if using. Toss gently to ensure all the slices are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned Brazil nut slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, keeping a close eye on them after the 5-minute mark to prevent burning. The chips should turn lightly golden and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool completely on the tray. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the Brazil Nut Chips to an airtight container for storage, or serve immediately as a snack.
