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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine quinoa flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and baking powder.
Step 3
Slowly add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until you form a smooth, thick batter.
Step 4
Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid slightly, which will help with spreading and baking.
Step 5
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin layer, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are crisp.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before breaking along the score lines.
Step 9
Once completely cooled, store the quinoa chips in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crispy.
