Chef Notes

  • For spiced chips, omit lime juice and zest, and add 1 tsp (2.5 grams) ground cinnamon when adding the salt.
  • Keep an eye on your flakes, as thinner flakes will brown faster.
  • Serve atop frozen vanilla or chocolate yogurt.
  • Use as a garnish for parfaits or cereals, or to have as a simple snack.
