1 teaspoon Lime Juice

In a medium bowl, add avocado. With a fork or potato masher, mash avocado until creamy and smooth.
Mix Parmesan cheese, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until evenly blended.
Place a heaping teaspoon of the avocado mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure you place each avocado dollop at least 3-inches apart.
Using a offset spatula coated with nonstick spray, gently flatten the avocado mounds into a round that is 3-inches wide and 1/16-inch in thickness. Make sure the avocado chips are as thin as possible, or they will not crisp up in the oven.
Bake the avocado chips for 15 minutes until golden brown. Flip the avocado chips over and cook them for 2-3 minutes. Watch the avocado chips carefully to ensure the cheese does not burn.
Let the avocado chips cool entirely. The avocado chips will get crispier as they cool.
