Bake up these sweet and crunchy pear chips, then dip them in a dreamy whipped coconut dip.

Move over apples, there’s a new chip in town! Fiber-rich pears and cinnamon come together for a crispy treat you can dip in a creamy coconut dipping sauce. Made with just five ingredients, they’re the perfect snack to keep handy whenever a craving strikes!

For this recipe, we slow bake the pears and transform them into crispy chips. When looking for the ideal pears, try to opt for ones that are firm and have not reached peak ripeness yet. This will help yield a crunchier chip and be easier to slice when prepping.

Before baking, lightly coat the chips in cinnamon to naturally sweeten and amp up its warm and aromatic flavors. You can also choose to sprinkle them with coconut sugar or glaze them with honey for an even sweeter taste.

The final dipping sauce is made up of whipped coconut cream, cinnamon, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. Its high fat content helps curb cravings (without the inflammatory effects of dairy) and is the perfect addition to any dessert or baked good. If you don’t have any coconut cream on hand, you can always opt for coconut milk instead – just be sure to only use the thick portion at the top and reserve the liquid portion for other recipes (like healthy Paleo smoothies).

To get started, place the pear slices onto two prepared baking sheets and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon. Bake for 1½ hours, then flip and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon. Continue baking for an additional 1½ hours.

When ready, remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the pears to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow them to crisp up. In the meantime, place the coconut cream, cinnamon, and maple syrup in a medium mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat for 15 seconds, or until fluffy.

Then, transfer to a small bowl and serve alongside the finished pear chips. You can store leftovers in an airtight container and keep in a dry spot.
