Ingredients
Scale
Basic Chips
- 6–8 rice paper sheets (spring roll wrappers)
- Warm water for soaking
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Everything Bagel Version
- 6–8 rice paper sheets
- Warm water for soaking
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- Pinch of garlic powder
Spicy Chili Version
- 6–8 rice paper sheets
- Warm water for soaking
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Soak each rice paper sheet for 15–30 seconds until it becomes pliable but not soggy. Lay the sheets on a clean towel and gently pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Season: While the rice paper sheets are still damp, sprinkle your chosen seasoning evenly over their surfaces. Gently press the seasoning into each sheet with clean hands to help it adhere well. Let the seasoned sheets rest for 1–2 minutes to allow the flavors to set.
- Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the prepared rice paper sheets in a single layer inside the air fryer basket; a little overlap is acceptable but avoid stacking. Air fry for 4–6 minutes or until the edges turn golden and the chips become crisp. Once done, remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool for about 30 seconds.
- Serve: Break the rice paper sheets into chip-sized pieces and serve immediately to enjoy the best crunch. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Soak rice paper sheets just until pliable to prevent sogginess and ensure crispiness when air fried.
- Press seasoning firmly into the damp rice paper for better adherence and flavor.
- Air fryer temperatures and times may vary; monitor closely to avoid burning.
- Variations allow you to customize flavors to your preference: Basic, Everything Bagel, or Spicy Chili.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness for up to three days.
