Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Whisk egg whites in a bowl until frothy but not stiff; this ensures thin spreading and crispness.

  3. 3

    Lightly spray the parchment with olive oil to prevent sticking, then ladle 2 tbsp portions of egg white onto the sheet, spacing them out.

  4. 4

    Gently spread each portion thinly using the back of a spoon, aiming for even circles about 3 inches wide.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle salt and pepper over each chip evenly for flavor, then bake for 12–15 minutes until edges turn golden and chips become crisp; monitor closely to prevent burning.

  6. 6

    Cool chips on a wire rack for maximum crunch before serving.
