Super Crispy Baked Corn Chips and Scoops

Corn chips don’t have to be deep fried, and homemade ones don’t have to take very long either.   We love corn chips because they are a delicious vehicle for veggies and nutrient rich dips! We dip our chips into our favorite triple bean dip, guacamole, and even hummus.

How to Make Homemade Corn Chips

Then with little tiny balls, almost 1/2 tablespoon big, we pressed between two sheets of parchment paper on a tortilla press.  (Perfect job for the kids!!)

What is the difference between Corn flour and Cornmeal?

Corn flour is similar to cornmeal except that it is ground to a finer consistency than cornmeal. It is used to make cornbread, muffins, pancakes, polenta, and tortillas.

Then, we placed some of the tortillas on a baking sheet, where the kids brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt, and cut with a crinkle cutter and a pizza wheel.

To make the scoops, we inverted the small uncooked tortillas on a mini muffin pan.

Our tips to make sure they are crispy:

• Make sure the dough is pressed as thinly as possible, and your tortilla circles are small.
• Brush with olive oil before baking!
• Set them in the oven at 425 for at least ten minutes.
• For chips, flip over, and bake for 3-4 more minutes

If you make these chips, don’t forget to also encourage dipping!
