Recipe Questions & Answers
- → Can I make the naan chips ahead of time?
Yes, bake the chips up to 2 days ahead and store in an airtight container. Re-crisp in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes before serving. Prepare the dip fresh on the day you plan to serve.
- → What can I substitute for chili crisp?
Use sriracha mixed with a teaspoon of sesame oil, or create your own spicy oil by heating vegetable oil with red pepper flakes, garlic, and Sichuan peppercorns.
- → How do I keep the chips from getting soggy?
Ensure the naan pieces are in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding. Flip halfway through baking and let cool completely on the baking sheet rather than stacking them.
- → Can I use regular naan instead of garlic naan?
Absolutely. Regular naan works perfectly fine—just increase the garlic powder to 1 teaspoon in the oil mixture to maintain the garlicky flavor profile.
- → Is the dip better if made ahead?
The dip actually improves after chilling for 1-2 hours as the flavors meld together. Make it up to a day in advance and keep refrigerated, adding sesame seeds just before serving.
- → Can I air-fry the naan chips instead?
Yes. Arrange coated naan pieces in the air fryer at 375°F for 6-8 minutes, shaking halfway. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding for optimal crispiness.
