Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal (fine)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until all the dry ingredients are well mixed.
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and stir to create a crumbly mixture.
Gradually add the water, a little at a time, mixing until a cohesive dough forms. The dough should be slightly firm but not dry.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out with a rolling pin until it's about 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) thick.
Remove the top sheet of parchment. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into small triangle shapes.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chips are crisp and lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool completely on the tray. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve your chili corn chips immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to one week.
