Ingredients

  • 4 cups (600 grams) fresh corn kernels
  • 1 cup (90 grams) ground flaxseed
  • 1 medium brown onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons (3 grams) paprika
  • 2 teaspoons (3 grams) ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt

Directions

  • To prepare the corn chips, place all the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and process until the mixture is well combined and fairly smooth.
  • Use a spatula to evenly spread the corn mixture onto dehydrator trays lined with non-stick sheets or baking parchment until it is around 1/8-inch (3 millimeters) thick.
  • Use the back of a knife to score the sheets of corn into 2-inch (5-centimeter) triangles.
  • Dry at 155 degrees Fahrenheit (68 degrees Celsius) for the first 2 to 3 hours of drying, then reduce the temperature to 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius) for 12 to 20 hours, flipping the corn chips over after 6 hours and peeling away the non-stick sheet.
  • Rotate the trays a few times during dehydrating, until the corn chips are dry and crisp. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
