Ghoulcamole with Ghost Shaped Tortilla Chips
This easy and healthy dip will surely scare you guests into eating it all up! Ghost shaped chips makes this an extra special treat for little ones to enjoy as well.
Tortilla Chips:
- About 20 white corn tortillas- preferably a touch stale
- 2 tbsp Living Harvest hemp oil in a small bowl
- sea salt to taste
- pastry brush
- ghost (or your favorite shape) cookie cutter
Preheat oven to 400 °F.
Lightly oil just the tops of each tortilla.
Stack about 3 tortillas on top of each other. Place cookie cutter firmly on tortillas; and, using a lot of force, push down to cut all the way through.
Arrange on cookie sheet, making sure not to stack or overlap any ghosts. No need to waste the scraps of the ghost edges. Simply cut them up and arrange separately onto another cookie sheet.
Lightly salt. Once they are on the cookie sheets, use a #5 or #6 decorating tip to cut the little circles for the “eyes”.
Bake in preheated oven about 6-8 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and crispy. Flip over and bake an additional 1-2 minutes. Watch that they don’t burn! Let cool completely before serving.
