Chef's Pro-Tips
- Slice Uniformly Thin: Use a mandoline for true 1/8-inch slices. Thicker slices stay chewy after 2 hours, and paper-thin ones scorch before the batch is done.
- Let Them Cool to Crisp: The chips finish crisping as they cool on the pan. If they feel slightly pliable at 2 hours, rest them 10 minutes before deciding they need more oven time.

The slices were probably cut too thick. They should be an eighth of an inch thin. They also crisp up further as they cool, so give them a few minutes out of the oven.
