Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove any bitter coating.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fully cooked.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Transfer the cooked quinoa to a large mixing bowl. Stir in olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the quinoa mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down with a spatula to create a thin, even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the mixture is set.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then carefully peel off the parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice into chip-size pieces.
Place the chips back onto the baking sheet and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until they are fully crispy.
Allow to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
