- 6 noodles (125 g) low protein lasagna
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp cumin powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp cayenne, double for extra spicy chips
- ½ tsp kosher salt, plus more for finishing
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Break each lasagna sheet into 3-4 smaller chip-sized piecesand place them in a shallow bowl or dish.
Pour boiling water over the top of the lasagna noodles (enough to cover them) and let them sit for 10 minutes to soften.
Remove the noodles from water, allowing excess water to drip off. Pat dry with a clean towel.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt. Set aside.
Toss the lasagna pieces in the vegetable oil.
Spread the noodle pieces out evenly on a baking tray in single layer without overlapping (you may need 2 trays).
Bake 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crisp, flipping halfway through.
Remove from oven and toss in spice mixture while still hot. Add additional salt if needed.
Allow to cool before serving.
