How to Make 3 Ingredient Raw Corn Chips

This raw corn chip recipe can be made in a dehydrator or oven. They can be soft or crisp and have a sweet taste, great for snacking!

These raw corn chips are delicious! They have a sweet taste and can be made as crips as desired! I learned about the benefits of adding as much raw plant-based food into my diet as possible years ago. During that time I found the best recipes, several of which are in our recipe category.

I also learned how to dry some foods to keep the nutrients. though food can be dried in an oven, it can be worth purchasing a dehydrator if you do it often enough. One of the bests is Excalibur. As I did a lot of dehydrating I purchased the 9 shelf type with a timer. My favorite thing to eat with these is raw guacamole which is super easy to make and tastes wonderful! It’s great with our 3 Ingredient Raw Corn chips too! (shown below)

Note About Using An Oven

You can use an oven to dehydrate foods if desired but be aware of the following:

  • To maintain the raw food nutrients the heat cannot be over 115 degrees.
  • You can dehydrate in an oven, however, most ovens do not go below 200 degrees. (This will work and dehydrate faster but you will lose the raw food nutrients.)
  • Ovens tend to not have good airflow. Just test your chips regularly and turn them in the middle of the baking.
  • You can test your oven’s “warm” setting and use a thermometer to determine the heat.
  • You can still use Teflon sheets in the oven.
  • How long it takes depends on the heat, so keep testing every hour or so.

  6. Dehydrate at 105 for 10 to 16 hours total depending on desired crispness.
  7. Halfway through the drying, peel the chips off Teflex sheet and flip over and lay directly on mesh screen and place back into dehydrator.

Using a spatula or other tool, spread the mixture 1/8″ thick over the sheet. You can keep it as one large square and break it up after dehydrating THE THICKER YOU SPREAD THEM THE LONGER IT WILL TAKE TO DEHYDRATE. I prefer thicker and not as crunchy but it’s a personal preference.
