Ingredients
2 firm, underripe pears, sliced thin 1/8"
Cinnamon *Optional
Maple Syrup, maple sugar, coconut sugar, or Golden Lakanto *Optional
Fresh lemon juice *Optional
Process
1. Preheat your oven to 225°.
2. Line your baking sheet with parchment.
3. Using a Mandolin or sharp paring knife, very thinly slice pears lengthwise, roughly ⅛’ thick, and place in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Brushing your pears with about 1/2 Tbsp. of fresh squeezed lemon will help keep your chips white.
4. Bake for 1 ½ hours. Flip slices and continue baking until darkened slightly and edges have curled (they should still be pliable), for 1 to 1 1/2 hours total.
5. Transfer slices to a wire rack and let stand until cool and crisp.
6. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
