Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup fine white sugar feel free to adjust
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon or up to 3 tablespoons if you're feeling adventurous
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar or a pinch of nutmeg for extra flair
  • A small pinch of sea salt balances out the sweetness
  • 2 pita pockets, tortillas, or any thin flatbread your choice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil for that perfect brushing

Method
 

  1. Now, let’s get to the fun part – making these churro chips!
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). A hot oven is key for crispy chips.
Step 2: Prepare Sugar Mixture
  1. In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla sugar (or nutmeg), and sea salt. This mixture will create that irresistible coating once our chips are baked.
Step 3: Prepare the Flatbreads
  1. Take your pita or tortilla and cut them into triangles. You can go for larger pieces if you want, or smaller triangles for a bite-sized snack.
Step 4: Brush with Olive Oil
  1. Spread a thin layer of olive oil on each triangle. This helps in achieving that lovely crispiness. Don’t drown them, just a light brush will do!
Step 5: Coat with Cinnamon Sugar
  1. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the oiled side of the triangles. Make sure to cover them evenly.
Step 6: Bake
  1. Place the chips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them; every oven is different!
Step 7: Cool and Serve
  1. Once baked, allow the churro chips to cool slightly. Then, sprinkle a bit more cinnamon-sugar mixture on top for good measure. Serve warm with your favorite dip!

Notes

Here are a few tips to make your churro chips even better:
Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the chips to avoid burning. They can quickly go from golden to charred.
Experiment with Flavors: Try adding cocoa powder to the sugar mixture for a chocolatey twist.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the sugar mixture in advance and store it for later use.
Store Properly: Keep the chips in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
Customize: Feel free to use gluten-free flatbreads if needed; the recipe works just as well.
