A festive and easy Passover snack featuring crispy toasted matzah chips paired with creamy, zesty guacamole. Perfect for sharing and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Whole sheets of matzah, broken into chip-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • ½ cup diced cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • Minced jalapeño, seeded (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Break the matzah sheets into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the broken matzah pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until lightly coated.
  4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt over the matzah and toss gently to distribute evenly.
  5. Spread the seasoned matzah in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, shaking or flipping the pieces halfway through, until golden and crunchy but not burnt.
  7. While the matzah bakes, prepare the guacamole by mashing 2 ripe avocados in a medium bowl to your preferred texture.
  8. Add 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt to the avocado and mix gently.
  9. Fold in ½ cup diced cherry tomatoes and minced jalapeño if using.
  10. Once the matzah chips are out of the oven and slightly cooled, transfer them to a serving platter.
  11. Spoon the creamy guacamole generously over the chips or serve it alongside for dipping.
  12. Garnish with extra cilantro or thin slices of jalapeño for color and flair.

Notes

Avoid piling too much guacamole on the chips at once to keep them crispy. Store matzah chips and guacamole separately if making ahead. Reheat chips in a 300°F oven for 3-5 minutes to restore crispness. Use fresh lime juice and cover guacamole tightly to prevent browning.
