# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Your friends will rave and demand the secret to these shatteringly crisp chips with tangy fresh fruit.
- You can swap fruits in and out for whatever is in season or your crisper drawer, and it never gets old.
02 -
- If you overcrowd the baking sheet, the chips will end up soft and pale (I learned this when I tried to bake three layers at once in a rush).
- Mixing the salsa ahead gives the flavors time to develop, but any longer than a few hours and the salsa can get watery.
03 -
- Letting the chips cool completely is what makes them truly crunchy—the wait is worth it.
- Chopping the fruit into even, small pieces helps every bite get a bit of everything.
