- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.

- Use the back of a spoon to flatten each dollop into a thin circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Notes
Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, though they are best enjoyed fresh. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month. Just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to recapture that delightful crunch.
