Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
Flavoring
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (such as oregano, basil, thyme)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder to create the base mixture. Add the olive oil and water, stirring until a slightly sticky but cohesive dough forms. Adjust consistency by adding water teaspoon by teaspoon if needed.
- Incorporate the Parmesan and Herbs: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently knead in the grated Parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs for 1-2 minutes, ensuring even distribution without overworking the dough.
- Roll Out the Dough: Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin, even rectangle or circle about 1/8 inch thick. Lightly dust with flour if sticking occurs. Cut the dough into chip-sized pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, shaping as squares or triangles.
- Air Fry the Chips: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes. Arrange the chip pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp. Work in batches if necessary.
- Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the chips and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to cool and crisp up further. Serve immediately with your favorite dip or enjoy as a crunchy snack.
Notes
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to promote even cooking and crispiness.
- Rolling the dough thinner will yield crispier chips; adjust thickness to your preference.
- Store cooled chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness for up to 2 days.
- Try different herb blends or add spices like smoked paprika for variation.
- If dough is too sticky, add a little more flour to make it easier to handle.
