Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa flour
- 1 cup water
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine quinoa flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and baking powder.
Slowly add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you form a smooth, thick batter.
Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid slightly, which will help with spreading and baking.
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin layer, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Make score marks on the batter with a sharp knife or pizza cutter to form small chip shapes. This will make it easier to break into individual pieces once baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before breaking along the score lines.
Once completely cooled, store the quinoa chips in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crispy.
