Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 2 tablespoons of water and let sit for 5 minutes to create a chia gel.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the quinoa flour, olive oil, and the prepared chia gel.
Gently mix in the remaining water while stirring until you form a smooth batter.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Spread the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to smooth it out evenly to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it to score the partially baked batter into desired chip shapes with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Rotate the baking sheet, return it to the oven, and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the edges are golden and chips are crispy.
Allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before breaking them apart along the scored lines.
Serve the quinoa chips immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
