Ingredients
- 1 bag gluten free tortilla chips
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Spread the gluten-free tortilla chips in a single, even layer across the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the chips are not overcrowded to allow for even cheese melting.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla chips, making sure each chip gets a good coverage of cheese.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and starts to bubble slightly.
- Remove the nachos from the oven and immediately scatter fresh blackberries across the melted cheese.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze in a zigzag pattern over the nachos, ensuring an even distribution of the sweet and tangy sauce.
- Sprinkle the freshly chopped basil over the top, allowing the herb's aromatic qualities to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and the chips are crisp. Enjoy as a unique appetizer or light vegetarian meal.
Tips
- Use high-quality gluten-free tortilla chips for the best texture and taste.
- Ensure your baking sheet is lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- Watch the cheese carefully while melting—you want it perfectly bubbling, not burnt.
- Use fresh, ripe blackberries for the most intense flavor burst.
- Chop the basil just before adding to preserve its aromatic oils and freshness.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze in a zigzag pattern for both visual appeal and even flavor distribution.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal combination of crispy chips and melted cheese.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a light sprinkle of sea salt or fresh cracked black pepper before serving.
