Ingredients
Scale
Black Bean Chips
- ½ cup black bean flour (grind black beans in a Vitamix or powerful blender)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or other high smoke point cooking oil (avoid olive oil; see notes for oil-free option)
- ½ to ⅔ cup water
- ½ to 1 teaspoon sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking the chips.
- Prepare Black Bean Flour: If you don’t have pre-made black bean flour, blend ½ cup of dry black beans at high speed in a powerful blender like a Vitamix for 15-20 seconds until it reaches a fine flour-like consistency, leaving some thicker black specs from the skin.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the black bean flour and sea salt. Add the avocado oil and mix thoroughly with a fork to incorporate the oil evenly. Slowly pour in ½ cup of water, stirring to form a slightly runny batter. Add additional water as needed up to ⅔ cup to achieve the right consistency.
- Form Chips on Baking Sheet: Drop teaspoons of batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving plenty of space between each. Use a fork to gently press and spread each batter drop thinly to ensure maximum crispiness, avoiding holes that can cause breakage.
- Bake First Side: Bake the chips for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, allowing them to start setting and crisping up.
- Flip and Bake Second Side: Carefully flip each chip using a large fork by sliding it underneath to avoid tearing. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before handling. Serve immediately for best crispiness. They pair excellently with homemade guacamole or enjoyed plain.
Notes
- Black bean flour may contain some darker specs from bean skins—this is normal and adds texture and flavor.
- Chips do not need to be uniform in shape or size but should be spread thinly to ensure crispiness.
- When flipping chips, slide the fork gently under them to avoid sticking and create attractive ripples.
- For an oil-free version, omit the oil and be extra careful when flipping as chips may stick slightly to parchment paper.
- To add flavor, mix in spices such as garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, or paprika with the dry ingredients before adding oil and water.
- Chips are best enjoyed the same day as they can lose crispiness over time; store in a single layer to avoid sogginess.
