• 3 large garlic naan breads
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 tbsp chili crisp (store-bought or homemade)
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• For the Creamy Asian Cucumber Dip
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (or thick plain yogurt)
• ½ English cucumber, seeded and finely diced
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 clove garlic, finely grated

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the garlic naan into triangle-shaped chips (about 8 per naan). Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, and chili crisp. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of the naan chips. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Step 4

Bake the chips for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.

Step 5

While the chips bake, prepare the dip: In a medium bowl, mix Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, grated garlic, chives, cilantro, and crushed red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to serve.

Step 6

Serve the spicy garlic naan chips with the creamy Asian cucumber dip.

Recipe FAQs

→ Can I make the chips ahead of time?

Yes, bake the chips up to 2 days ahead and store in an airtight container. Re-crisp at 350°F for 5 minutes before serving. The dip keeps refrigerated for up to 3 days.

→ What can I use instead of naan?

Pita bread, flatbread, or even flour tortillas work beautifully. Adjust baking time since thinner breads crisp faster—check after 8-10 minutes.

→ Is chili crisp very spicy?

Chili crisp varies by brand. Most offer moderate heat with savory crunch. Start with less if sensitive to spice, or add red pepper flakes to the dip for extra fire.

→ Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek?

Greek yogurt's thickness works best, but regular yogurt strained through cheesecloth for 30 minutes achieves similar creamy consistency.

→ How do I prevent soggy chips?

Arrange chips in a single layer without overlapping. Flip halfway through baking. Let cool completely on the baking sheet to maintain maximum crunch.
