Tucci’s Tips

Use ripe but firm avocados for the best texture.

For extra crispiness, flip the chips halfway through baking.

Sprinkle grated Parmigiano on top before baking for a savory crust.

Variations

Spicy Version: Add chili flakes or smoked paprika to the mix.
Vegan Option: Replace egg and cheese with nutritional yeast and 2 tbsp chickpea flour.
Crunch Upgrade: Add crushed nuts or seeds on top before baking.

Did You Know?

Historical Fact: Avocados were first cultivated over 5,000 years ago in Central America, where they were considered a symbol of fertility and strength by the Aztecs.

Fun Fact: The word “avocado” comes from the Aztec word “ahuacatl,” which also meant “testicle” — a cheeky nod to its shape and association with vitality.
