Corn Chips & Guacamole
One of my favorite raw food recipes for an after work treat has always been chips and guacamole. Trying to be healthier, I switched to blue corn chips with flax. Maybe a little healthier than some of the others, but still full of salt, with the nutrients baked right out of them. More empty calories. So, the challenge was to create a raw food recipe for chips that worked with my chunky guacamole and satisfied my salty, crunchy tooth. The answer to the challenge is raw corn chips!
Corn Chips and Guacamole
Raw Corn Chips
- 3 cups corn
- 1/4 onion
- 1/2 tablespoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- a pinch or two of celtic sea salt
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Spread on a teflex sheet on dehydrator tray. Score the mixture before you start to dehydrate.
- Dehydrate 12 hours at 115%, flip and dehydrate until fully dry and crisp. Break apart at score lines. Makes one sheet.
Guacamole
- 2 avocados, mashed
- 1 medium purple onion, diced
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 lime, juice from
- 1/2 small hot pepper, finely diced
- pinch of celtic sea salt
- Mix ingredients together. This makes a very chunky guacamole, which I like. Enjoy with the corn chips!

Hi Susan,
I am just starting to incorporate more raw food into my diet to enhance absorbed nutrition. I made these chips last night adding flax and a squeeze of lime juice because I love lime corn chips. I tasted the batter before smoothing it out and it tasted like a yummy corn chowder. They turned out light and crispy and extreamly delicious! My nine year old said they tasted like French Onion Sunchips. Thank you for your creative recipes!

I am very excited to discover your site. Recipes look innovative & lucious – & the photography is superlative.
I made the corn crackers – 3 ingredients! Amazingly simple. I had to fight with myself over adding some soaked or groningen flaxseeds – what would hold these together – but I finally reasoned that I would not really test your recipe unless I followed it. Wow! They turned out crispy & sweet! Fabulous! & that they are so simple & fast – a real incentive to make them. Thank you for this site, Susan.

I made these chips and I’m not a big fan of the texture. They are very chewy even after many hours of dehydrating. I love the taste though. I’ll keep searching for a recipe that crisps up. Thank you for your recipes though!

Frozen corn is not raw, it has been heated before packaging.

Actually, Frozen corn is raw. They do not heat anymore. They flash freeze on location. Freezing does not affect the raw status. Canned corn is not raw. It is heated.

These look absoloutely divine. I might sound silly with this… but what is a teleflex sheet? I am from Australia… is this like a baking paper alternative?

Teflex sheets are much stronger than parchment paper and reusable. They keep moist things from dripping through the mesh. I’m sure you can buy them from Excalibur.

These are the best Raw Crunchy Corn Chips ever! I did modify the recipe, instead of the onion I used organic onion powder (found @ Whole Foods in the bulk section) Spread the corn mixture about 1/4 inch thick, I also lightly sprinkled Raw Himalayan Salt on-top. Lightly scored into triangles, dehydrate @ 115 for 4hrs, turn over, then dehydrate for another 16 hrs.

Thanks Terry! I also wondered about the onion and had no idea what temperature to set the dehydrator!

I’m looking forward to trying this recipe for the chips as soon as my dehydrator arrives. Thanks!

I made these and I found them to be….well let’s just say it doesn’t satisfy my craving for chips..it came out crispy but rubbery when I chew them..onion flavor much too strong and not enough spices..also the sweet taste of the corn (frozen) was too sweet..I will try again with green onions, more salt, garlic and maybe some flax seeds to make it more crunchy and not rubbery..

A dehydrated chip will never have the same texture as a fried, processed chip. That said, mine get quite crisp. You may have needed more time in the dehydrator.
