Popcorn Chips
Discover how to make crispy, delicious popcorn chips at home! A healthy, customizable snack that's perfect for movie nights or as a tasty treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup popcorn kernels – The crunchy base of your chips.
- 2 tbsp cornmeal – Adds structure and crispiness.
- 2 tbsp olive oil – Enhances richness and prevents dryness.
- Seasonings of choice – Customize with garlic powder salt, chili powder, etc.
- 1-2 tsp water optional – Helps bind the dough if too dry.
Instructions
- Pop the Popcorn – Pop 1 cup of kernels and let cool. Remove unpopped pieces.
- Grind – Pulse popcorn in a food processor until coarse (not powdered).
- Mix – Combine popcorn crumbs, cornmeal, olive oil, and seasonings. Add water if dry.
- Roll – Flatten dough between parchment sheets to about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cut – Slice into chips using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Bake – Bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until crispy.
- Cool & Enjoy – Let cool, then serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Texture Matters – Don’t over-process the popcorn; a slightly coarse grind gives the best crunch.
- Thin for Crispiness – The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the chips will be.
- Watch While Baking – Chips can burn quickly, so keep an eye on them in the last few minutes.
