I recently read a study found that genetics determined whether or not a person has a sweet tooth. Now you must know by now that I do have a sweet tooth – and hence the so-called sweet tooth gene, but I’ve been wondering if the same could be said for what I like to call the crunchy tooth gene?
I love my crunchy snacks just as much as I love an indulgent dessert, and when the afternoon rolls around, I crave crunch and texture more than anything. I suspect that if these cravings are genetic, I can likely prove it – my kids are exactly the same way.
The thing is, I still want to be healthy when I snack, so when the crunchy cravings bite, I love making my own chips. These Pesto Baked Naan Chips are so easy to whip up, and they’re the perfect vessel for my other weakness: dips.
I found that these easy homemade chips went so well with Alouette’s new Le Bon Dip – the flavors were creamy and garden fresh!
How to Make Pesto Baked Naan Chips
To make the chips, I rely on pantry staples: pesto (homemade or bought, either works), extra virgin olive oil, and naan. Spread the naan with olive oil and pesto, cut into triangles and bake. All it takes is about 7 minutes in the oven, making them perfect for packing for picnics, entertaining with friends, or simply just munching.
When my daughter spied the chips that afternoon, she proved my crunchy gene theory. “So good, mama!” Thumbs up from her, and I hope it gets a thumbs up from you, too!

Oh my goodness. These sound so cruncherifically perfect. And those dips look divine, too!
Uh oh. I was apparently born with the sweet, salty and crunchy gene! Needless to say your snacks divine!
I think it all really does go together, right, El? Inevitably, after eating something sweet, I have to follow up with something crunchy and salty ;)
Oh, this is definitely something I will try soon, totally my kind of snack. And I have such a wonderful mint pesto, it will be perfect for these.
A mint pesto will really be delicious here, Adina!
I am all about crunchy snacks so these chips are a must try!
Crunchy snacks are the best!
This looks so awesome! I love basil especially in the summer. It’s been a little cooler here (Buffalo) so I can turn the oven on but I bet these would be great on the grill also.
Oh I’m sure they would be awesome on the grill, Karen! Great idea.
I am loving everything with pesto right now! These are perfect!
Me too, Maria! I can’t stop putting pesto on everything!
