Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

For Baking: Brush the injera chips lightly with vegetable oil. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, sprinkle the chips with a little berbere spice before baking or frying.

If using store-bought injera, make sure it's not too moist, as it will take longer to crisp up.

Adjust the amount of berbere spice in the Awaze dip to your preferred level of spiciness.

Awaze dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
