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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove any bitter coating.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Spread the quinoa mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down with a spatula to create a thin, even layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the mixture is set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, then carefully peel off the parchment paper.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice into chip-size pieces.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Allow to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
