Description
Create festive and healthy Spooky Baked Halloween Chips using simple ingredients and Halloween cookie cutters. These oven-baked tortilla chips are a kid-friendly treat perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or movie nights, offering a lighter alternative to fried snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 flour tortillas (use gluten-free or grain-free if needed)
- Spray avocado oil or olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Halloween cookie cutters (ghosts, pumpkins, bats, skulls)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or line a baking sheet.
- Use Halloween cookie cutters to punch shapes from tortillas (5–6 cutouts per tortilla). Cut leftover scraps into strips to bake as extra chips.
- Place cutouts on the sheet without overcrowding. Lightly mist with avocado or olive oil spray and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake 5–7 minutes on the middle rack, rotating the pan once. Watch closely—chips brown quickly.
- Remove and let cool a few minutes; they will crisp further as they cool.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with salsa, guacamole, pumpkin hummus, queso, or your favorite dips.
Notes
- For crispier chips, do not overcrowd the baking sheet and use spray oil for a light, even coating.
- Optional seasonings include chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, taco seasoning, everything bagel spice, lime zest & sea salt, or cinnamon sugar for sweet chips.
- For presentation, serve in a cauldron or on a black tray, and label dips with spooky names like “Witch Slime” (guac) or “Lava Sauce” (queso).
- Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Re-crisp at 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes if needed.
