Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix

Line your baking tray with grease proof paper .

Pour in mixture- using the back side of a spoon spread out mix into a rectangular shape- making sure it’s tightly packed.

Bake for 10 mins one side. Flip and bake for 10 mins on the other side so both sides are crispy.
