You absolutely won't believe how good it tastes to eat raw corn! Mix it with a little flax seed meal, some spices, dehydrate it, and you've got super-healthy tortilla chips you can eat alone or dipped in salsa or guacamole! Enjoy!
Ingredients
4 cups frozen, uncooked corn
1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp lime juice
2.5 Tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup chopped red onion
2 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup ground flax seed
2 tsp chili powder
1 Tbsp cumin
1 clove garlic
Pinch cayenne pepper
Directions
Step 1. Combine all ingredients, except for 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, in a food processor and process until smooth.
Step 2. Divide recipe into four, then spread on four teflex dehydrator sheets, about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 3. Dehydrate for 30 minutes to an hour, then score to desired shape with a knife and sprinkle with remaining salt.
Step 4. Dehydrate for 12 to 24 more hours, then turn dehydrator trays upside-down, peel off teflex from the hardened batter, then dehydrate the chips on screen trays for 12 more hours, or until crispy.
Step 5. Remove from trays and break at score marks.

Oh this sounds SO good!!! Another great reason to keep a dehydrator on my wish list! Can an oven be used instead?? What temperature?
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn!
ReplyDeleteYes, the first time I made these I used a wax paper covered cookie sheet, but it was difficult to get the chips off of the wax paper. I turned the oven to 170 degrees and propped open the oven door with a wooden spoon. This technique works great if you are dehydrating in your oven. Good luck!
