Does anyone remember those firecracker saltines? I love those. I didn't have any crackers on hand, but as luck would have it - my garden is exploding with Swiss Chard again this year. So I figure if you can make baked kale chips - why not Swiss Chard? I combine the two and what a great combination! The Swiss Chard has a great flavor baked and when combined with the spicy ranch flavor it's a snack that will be a keeper! Southern Food With Flare

How To Make swiss chard firecracker chips

    In a large mixing bowl combine chard and oil. Stir to coat evenly. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and ranch dressing mix. Stir until well coated.
  • 2
    Place chard on baking sheets covered with parchment paper - single layer.

    Place in oven and watch CLOSELY - you don't want them to burn. The outer chips will cook quicker than the ones in the center. Remove the chips with they are crispy.
