Helpful Tips & Tricks
Use the orange juice: You may or may not want to add sweetness to the salsa based on how sweet your fruit is. If you want to add sweetness without adding sugar, save some of the orange juice leftover from segmenting the orange and add to taste.
Halve the blueberries: You can leave the blueberries whole, but slicing them in half creates a flat surface that makes them easier to scoop (they won’t roll off the chip).
Swap the butter for cooking spray: If you want an even faster recipe, you can omit the melted butter while preparing the chips. Simply spray them with cooking spray.
