PrintFresh Italian Salsa and Baked Gluten-Free Chips
- Cuisine: Snacks
Ingredients
Units
For Salsa:
- 4 Roma tomatoes, diced (The size of the veggies will depend on how thick you like your salsa.)
- ½ sweet bell pepper, diced (choice of color–I like to mix yellow and green for an extra pop!)
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon powdered garlic
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped into small pieces
- 4–5 fresh basil leaves, chopped into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For Chips:
- 1 package Gluten-Free Brown Rice Tortillas
- Sea salt
- Italian herb seasoning
Instructions
Salsa:
- In a medium bowl, gently mix the tomatoes, bell pepper, and onion. Add the oregano, garlic, parsley, and basil leaves, and mix again.
- Drizzle the oil over the salsa, and lightly toss.
- Cover, and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.
Chips:
- Preheat the oven to 325F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a pizza slicer, cut the tortillas into chip-size pieces. (A good size is a 3×4 pattern = 12 chips/tortilla.)
- Place the chips evenly on the baking sheet. (You may need to bake them in two batches.)
- Lightly coat the tortilla pieces with cooking spray, then liberally sprinkle each with the salt and Italian herb seasoning.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until crispy. Be careful not to over-bake!
