Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Glazed Doughnuts
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each glazed doughnut horizontally into 3-4 thin layers. Aim for even slices to ensure uniform crisping.
Optional: In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar together if you want to add a spiced finish to your crisps.
Arrange the doughnut slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they don’t overlap.
If using the cinnamon-sugar topping, lightly sprinkle it over the slices before baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip each slice over to ensure even crisping. Rotate the baking sheets if necessary.
Bake for another 8-10 minutes or until the slices are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them during the final minutes to avoid burning as they can brown quickly.
Remove the crisps from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets. They will become even crispier as they cool.
Serve as is for a sweet snack or use them as a crunchy topping for ice cream, yogurt, or puddings. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
