Ingredients

• 1 cup Quinoa
• 2 cups Water
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear to remove saponins and reduce the natural bitterness.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed.

Step 4

Once cooked, fluff the quinoa with a fork, and let it cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a food processor, combine the cooked quinoa, almond flour, ground flaxseed, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

Step 7

Blend until the mixture forms a thick, slightly sticky dough. It should be easy to handle and moldable.

Step 8

Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thin, even layer, about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 9

Remove the top parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the rolled dough into chip-sized squares or triangles.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even cooking.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Once cooled, break apart any chips that may be stuck together. Enjoy your homemade quinoa chips as a snack or with your favorite Paleo dip.
