Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa flour
- 0.333 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine quinoa flour, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the olive oil and water to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Place the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Cover with another parchment paper sheet and roll out the dough to a thin, even layer, about 1/8 inch thick.
Carefully remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into your desired chip shapes (squares or triangles work well).
Transfer the parchment and sliced dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes to crisp up further.
Once cooled, break apart any chips that may be stuck together and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
