Ingredients
Method
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Drizzle in the olive oil and use your fingers or a fork to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles damp sand.
- Add the water a little at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 2 or 3 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough very thin, almost like a tortilla or cracker, so you can almost see your fingers through it.
- Sprinkle the rolled dough evenly with the grated Parmesan and dried Italian herbs, then lightly roll again to press the cheese and herbs into the surface.
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into chip-sized strips, triangles, or rectangles, keeping the pieces as even as possible.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 °F for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Arrange the dough pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each piece and working in batches as needed.
- Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through, until golden and crisp and the Parmesan smells toasty.
- Transfer the chips to a cooling rack to cool completely and crisp up further, then repeat with the remaining dough and serve.
Notes
- Roll the dough very thin for the crispiest chips. If the dough is too thick, the chips will be more bread-like.
- Store completely cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a spicy version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the dry ingredients before mixing the dough.
