Instructions

Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
~5 min - 2
Thinly slice the pears into rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Remove any seeds. In a small bowl, toss the pear slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
~7 min - 3
Roughly chop the walnuts. In a separate small bowl, combine chopped walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar.
~3 min - 4
Arrange the pear slices in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Sprinkle the walnut-spice mixture evenly over the pear slices.
~5 min - 5
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pear slices are crisp and lightly golden. Flip halfway through baking for even crisping.
~25 min - 6
Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking tray. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Tips
- Ensure the pear slices are very thinly and evenly cut for consistent crisping.
- Store cooled crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They are best enjoyed within the first 2 days for optimal crispness.
