Setting the mandolin
The pear slices don’t have to be paper-thin, but they should be consistent in thickness. If you don’t own a mandolin, here’s an affiliate link to the progressive mandolin I use.
These pears were sliced on the #2 setting.
Parchment paper is a lifesaver

Pear Chips Recipe
Here's a Fall favorite: healthy cinnamon pear chips with cinnamon and sugar. It's a healthy, in-season snack. For more recipes, visit sipbitego.com.
Ingredients
- 2 bosc pears
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp optional - nutmeg / all spice / ginger
- dusting sugar
Instructions
First, set everything up... Set your oven to 250. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix together spices and sugar. Set aside.
Prepare the pears. Remove the top and bottom and slice them on mandolin setting #2. Then boil pear slices for 1 minute.
Drain pears and arrange them on cookie sheets. Sprinkle the spice mixture on the pears and put them in the oven.
Check on your pear chips every 30 minutes. Depending on the oven, estimate 1.5 - 2 hours of continuous bake time. It takes a bit of guess work and sampling to tell when they're done. You may want to flip them for the final 30 minutes.
The chips will usually crisp up after a few minutes drying out of the oven.
