Chef tips
For extra-crispy thins, spread the mixture as thinly as possible and let them cool completely before serving. The dip can also be made a few hours ahead and kept chilled.
Substitutions
You can swap the rosemary for fresh thyme. If you do not have rice flour, use cornstarch in the same amount. Basil can be replaced with fresh parsley, though the flavor will be different.
