Crispy Rice Paper Chips
Briefly soaked, double-stacked rice paper wrappers cook in the air fryer in 5 to 7 minutes to make airy, blistered chips tossed warm with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Equipment
- Air fryer
- Pizza Cutter
Ingredients
- 8 rice papers (8 inches)
- Cooking spray
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Set the air fryer to 375°F, fill a shallow bowl with water, and dip each wrapper for 10 to 15 seconds before lifting it out to drain. Adjust the dip within that range for wrapper thickness, aiming for a flexible sheet that still holds together.
- Make two-sheet stacks and use a pizza cutter to divide each pair into 2-inch squares, continuing until all wrappers are cut. The damp layers should lie together without tearing, creating space for steam pockets as they cook.
- Give the squares room in the basket by arranging each batch in one layer, mist lightly with cooking spray, and air-fry for 5 to 7 minutes. Look for raised blisters, pale golden coloring, and crisp centers rather than flexible patches.
- Stir the salt, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper together in a small bowl, then coat the warm chips with the mixture and serve immediately. The seasoning should cling lightly to the surface while the chips retain their airy crunch.
Notes
Ingredient tip: Soak and stack one pair of wrappers at a time rather than soaking all sheets at once. A brief 10 to 15 second dip is enough because residual surface water continues softening the sheet on the cutting board.
Texture tip: Keep the cut squares separated in a single layer in the basket so neighboring damp edges do not fuse together or trap moisture in the centers.
Seasoning tip: Toss the chips gently with the dry spice blend immediately while they are still warm so the seasoning adheres to the lightly sprayed surface.
Storage: Let leftover chips cool completely before sealing them in an airtight container at room temperature away from moisture, and keep any dips or moist toppings separate.
