Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa flour
• 0.333 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika
• 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine quinoa flour, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and water to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 4

Place the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Cover with another parchment paper sheet and roll out the dough to a thin, even layer, about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 5

Carefully remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into your desired chip shapes (squares or triangles work well).

Step 6

Transfer the parchment and sliced dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes to crisp up further.

Step 9

Once cooled, break apart any chips that may be stuck together and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
