Holiday Snowflake Tortilla Crisps

/in /by

Hi, folks!  We’re officially in December, and that means that the holidays are fast approaching!  Whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Chanukah, or Festivus for the Restivus this year, there’s a holiday recipe that your kids will love to make AND eat.  And the best part is that it’s perfect for entertaining or for bringing to a holiday party! I give you SNOWFLAKE TORTILLA CRISPS!!!

What you need:

  • 2 tortilla crisps
  • olive oil
  • sea salt (optional)
  • snowflake shaped cookie cutters
  • hummus, guacamole, tapenade, or some other type of dip

What you do:

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (Gas mark 4/350°F). Brush or spray a couple of baking trays with olive oil.

Take snowflake cookie cutters and cut as many snowflake shapes as you can from the two tortilla wraps.  You can also use mini bento cutters in various shapes to cut patterns into the snowflakes – you could do this freehand with the tip of a small sharp knife but the mini cutters made it a lot quicker!

Carefully place the tortilla snowflakes onto the oiled baking trays. Brush or spray them with oil and sprinkle over a little bit of salt (optional). You could also them with sprinkle sesame seeds for extra flavour and texture if you like them.

Bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the snowflakes are starting to brown round the edges and are crispy. Do keep a sharp eye on them a they cook as they can burn very easily.

Once baked and crispy, remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Serve with hummus or another dip of your choice!
