Instructions

Thoroughly wash and dry the Swiss chard leaves. Patting them dry with a paper towel ensures crispier chips.
Lightly sprinkle the Swiss chard leaves with Himalayan pink salt. Since the leaves are tender, a small amount of salt is sufficient.
Drizzle the leaves with olive oil and toss gently to coat evenly. This helps them crisp up in the oven.
Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese over the oiled leaves.
Arrange the leaves in a single layer on a baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even baking.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes. Keep a close watch to prevent burning. The chips are ready when they are crispy and slightly browned.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For extra crispiness, thoroughly dry the Swiss chard leaves after washing—any moisture left on the leaves can cause them to steam instead of crisp up in the oven.
Try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or nutritional yeast before baking for a richer, more complex flavor profile.
If you prefer a dairy-free version, swap the mozzarella cheese for a dusting of your favorite vegan Parmesan or simply omit it.

Expert Tips

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Ensure adequate space between the chard leaves for even crisping.
For smaller chips, cut the chard leaves into bite-sized pieces before baking.
Experiment with different seasonings! Garlic powder, onion powder, or even a pinch of cayenne pepper can add a delicious kick.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover chips in an airtight container with a small packet of silica gel or a paper towel to help absorb moisture and maintain crispness for up to two days.
