4. Arrange: Lay slices in a single layer on the baking sheet (avoid overlapping).

5. Bake: Roast for 15–18 minutes, flip slices, then bake another 15–18 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.

6. Serve hot with your favorite dip or toppings.

Optional Toppings & Variations

• Savory: Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of garlic butter

• Sweet: Cinnamon + honey or maple syrup

• Spicy: Chili flakes or cayenne pepper

Tips for Best Results

• Slice evenly for uniform cooking

• For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes

• Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two trays if needed
