How to Make Spooky Baked Halloween Chips
- Preheat your oven – Set to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the shapes – Use cookie cutters to cut your chosen base (tortillas, pita, or veggie slices) into fun Halloween shapes.
- Season – Lightly brush or spray each chip with olive oil. Sprinkle with your favorite savory or sweet seasonings.
- Arrange on a baking sheet – Place in a single layer for even crisping.
- Bake – 8–12 minutes for tortillas/pita, 15–20 minutes for sweet potatoes, flipping halfway through.
- Cool & serve – Chips will continue to crisp as they cool. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Serving Ideas
- With dips – Pair with salsa, guacamole, hummus, queso, or a black bean dip for extra Halloween flair.
- On a snack board – Arrange alongside cheeses, veggies, and spooky finger foods for a festive grazing table.
- Sweet version – Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and serve with a pumpkin spice yogurt dip.
Tips for the Best Chips
- Keep your shapes uniform in thickness for even baking.
- Don’t over-oil — too much will make them soggy instead of crisp.
- For extra crunch, bake on a wire rack instead of directly on a baking sheet.
- Watch closely toward the end — they can go from golden to burnt quickly.
