Make Crisps

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F.

  2. Prep a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  3. Add a spoonful of almond batter onto the baking sheet and make it into a circle using a spoon. Spread gently, as thin as you can.

  4. Fit as many onto the sheet as you can, spaced about an inch apart from each other.

  5. Bake for 15 minutes. Depending on how thick your crisps are, you may need to keep baking. If the centers are golden and the edges are browned, they're done! Otherwise, keep baking in 5-minute increments until browned.

  6. Let cool and then serve!
