Ingredients

• 1 cup Quinoa flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken, forming a flax egg substitute.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the quinoa flour, sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, baking powder, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the thickened flax mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/8-inch thickness using a rolling pin.

Step 6

Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the rolled-out dough into 2-inch squares or triangles, as desired.

Step 7

Transfer the cut chips to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are crisp.

Step 9

Allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, enjoy these heart-healthy quinoa chips as they are, or serve them with your favorite healthy dip.
