Ingredients

• 2 cups cornmeal
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup warm water

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.
3. Add the vegetable oil to the dry ingredient mixture and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add the warm water to the mixture, a few tablespoons at a time, stirring well after each addition. Continue adding water until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky.
5. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to form a smooth ball.
6. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Take one portion and roll it out into a thin sheet, about 1/16-inch thick. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into triangular or rectangular shapes, resembling corn chips.
7. Place the cut chips onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each chip.
8. Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the second portion of dough.
9. Bake the corn chips in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them as they can quickly burn.
10. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
11. Store the baked corn chips in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
