Recipes for Chanukah: Crispy avocado wedges

Avocados are one of my favourite super foods as they are so versatile, but have you ever made them into chips?

High in fibre, protein and vitamins, these baked vegan wedges are a must any time.

Use as canapés, a quick snack, lunch box treats, a side dish or add to tacos, tortillas or with a burger.

NB: For best results, choose avocados that are firm but ripe.

Preparation Time: 20 mins. Cooking Time: 10-12 mins
