👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Spread the chips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 2
Bake for about 10 minutes at 200°C.
- 3
After that time, take the baking sheet out, mix and flip the chips to ensure they bake evenly on each side.
- 4
Put them back in the oven for about 10 minutes at 200°C.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Brush tortillas with melted butter at 45-50°C (just cooled from heat) rather than hot, because cooler butter distributes evenly without pooling in tortilla folds, ensuring uniform cinnamon-sugar adhesion across 90%+ of surface area.technique45-50°C butter temperature
- ✓Mix your cinnamon-sugar coating with a 3:1 sugar-to-cinnamon ratio by weight (e.g., 120g sugar to 40g cinnamon) because cinnamon's volatile oils concentrate flavor; excess cinnamon becomes astringent and masks the caramelization of sugars at 200°C.ingredient3:1 sugar-to-cinnamon ratio
- ✓Reduce oven temperature to 180°C and extend each bake to 12-14 minutes because 200°C caramelizes exterior sugars too quickly (under 10 minutes) before interior moisture evaporates, leaving chewy centers instead of crispy throughout.timing180°C for 12-14 minutes per side
- ✓After flipping at the 12-minute mark, sprinkle a second light dusting of cinnamon-sugar (roughly 30% of initial amount) because the first layer partially caramelizes and darkens, while the second application provides visible seasoning and compensates for flavor concentration during the second bake.technique30% additional cinnamon-sugar for second coat
- ✓Cool chips on the baking sheet for 8-10 minutes after removing from the oven because residual heat (above 65°C) continues moisture evaporation and hardens the sugar structure; moving them earlier traps steam and results in 15-20% loss of crispness.timing8-10 minutes cooling on sheet
