(We all know that, right?)

Ingredients for chips with quinoa

The only ingredients you need to buy to make these vegan chips are quinoa, a little olive oil and flaxseed. The seeds are used to make so-called “vegan eggs” (or flaxseed eggs), which consist of ground flaxseed and water. It turns into a sticky egg-like mass that binds the cooked quinoa together. You can easily choose to add more ingredients to the chips, such as spices, grated Parmesan (or yeast flakes) or a little sesame seeds. Salt, we think, is mandatory, but if you want sweeter chips, for example as a crunchy addition to a dessert, just leave it out, so you get sweet, nutty quinoa flakes.

TIP: Also try a Greek quinoa salad or one vegetarian lasagna with quinoa

The chips can be eaten as they are, but you can also use them as thin vegan crisps – perhaps for small bites for a festive appetizer? You can also choose to use the quinoa chips to make nachos - then they just need to be baked in the oven with a little grated cheddar, and then dipped in the holy trinity: salsa, guacamole and sour cream. That is recommended!
