Ingredients

• 200 grams Raw Brazil nuts
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife or mandoline, carefully slice the raw Brazil nuts into thin chips, about 1-2 millimeters thick. Be cautious as the nuts can be slippery.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Brazil nut slices with olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika if using. Toss gently to ensure all the slices are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned Brazil nut slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that they are not overlapping for even cooking.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, keeping a close eye on them after the 5-minute mark to prevent burning. The chips should turn lightly golden and fragrant.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool completely on the tray. They will crisp up as they cool.

Step 7

Once cooled, transfer the Brazil Nut Chips to an airtight container for storage, or serve immediately as a snack.
