Super, super, super! Did I mention that these were super?? Extremely easy and very tasty.... I couldn't tell you if they keep well because we ate them all - I just made enough that they filled one medium sized pan. I had no idea one could makes chips from wonton skins! This is a keeper... as we never can finish an entire bag of skins for one recipe and often have leftovers - what a great and yummy way to use them up!! Made for ZWT4.

These were sooooo yummy! I made them just as directed the first time and we could not stop eating them. They are great with a nice glass of wine in the evening. The second time, I tried different combinations (basil and cumin, tabasco, etc). They came out great each time. Just be careful about timing--too much and they burn, too little and they are rubbery.

OMG! These are so tasty! I'm not sure there will be any to put away because I might just eat them all! LOL. I tried different seasonings - oregano, italian seasoning, rosemary, garlic powder, garlic salt and some of them in combination - to experiment. Lots of possibilities hee! I used shredded parmesan. Made for Cooking the 6 PAC fall 2007.
