You just unlocked homemade chips that are actually better than the box.
Most people never dream of making chips at home from whole-food ingredients. You now have a sheet that does the shaping for you: perfect, uniform triangles every time, ready for dipping, snacking, and comparing to anything from the chip aisle.
This page was made just for you. Watch the 2-minute method, make your first batch, then try the bonus flavors below.
Store-Bought Cheese Crackers, Rebuilt From Scratch
What happens when you make a cheese cracker from whole sunflower seeds, flax, and nutritional yeast instead of refined flour, palm oil, and processed cheese powder? These numbers:
| Per 30g serving | These chips | Cheez-Its | Potato chips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 10g | 3g | 2g |
| Fiber | 6g | <1g | 1g |
| Sodium | ~125mg | 230mg | 170mg |
| Added oil | None | Palm oil | Seed oil |
| Refined flour | None | Enriched flour | Potato starch |
Values based on the included Cheesy Cheddar Crackers recipe (6-chip serving). Commercial values from standard product labels. Low sodium claim per FDA definition (<140mg per serving).
Fill a Whole Mold in 2 Minutes
See the batter consistency, the one-well-at-a-time fill, and how perfect triangles pop out of the sheet with no flipping.
How to Use Your Triangle Chip Mold Sheet
- Set it on your tray first. Place the sheet on your dehydrator tray before filling. A fully loaded mold is heavy and tippy. Set it, then fill it.
- Let the batter thicken. Flax and seed batters need about 10 to 15 minutes to set up. You want it thick like pancake batter so it holds its shape in each well.
- Spoon into every well. Drop batter into each triangle well, filling close to the top edge. Level the tops with the back of the spoon and wipe any excess from the flat surface between wells.
- Dehydrate overnight. No flip needed. Set the dehydrator to 115°F and let it run for 12 to 16 hours. The thin chip profile at low temperature dries evenly without flipping. Done when the chips release cleanly from the mold and snap when bent.
- Pop them out and cool. Flex the sheet from underneath and the triangles release instantly. Cool completely before storing. Any trapped warmth turns into moisture in the container.
Tips for Perfect Triangles
Cheezy Cheddar Crackers
A plant-based cheese cracker with 3× the protein, 6× the fiber, and a fraction of the sodium of standard cheese crackers. The no-fail recipe to start with.
Dry
- ¾ cup raw sunflower seeds, ground
- ⅓ cup ground flaxseed
- ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¾ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ⅛ tsp fine sea salt
Wet
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- Grind sunflower seeds to a coarse flour in a blender (stop before they turn to butter).
- Whisk all dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Add water and lemon juice. Stir until smooth.
- Rest 10 minutes. The batter will thicken.
- Spoon into every triangle well, filling close to the top edge. Level with the back of the spoon.
- Dehydrate at 115°F for 12 to 16 hours (overnight is perfect). Done when the chips pop out cleanly and snap when bent. Cool fully before storing.
Great with: hummus, guacamole, a bowl of tomato soup, or just plain as an afternoon snack.
Storage: Airtight container, room temperature, up to 2 weeks.
Classic Masa Tortilla Chips
Real corn tortilla chips, made from masa harina instead of fried in a factory. Perfect for salsa, guacamole, or anything you would normally eat with a store-bought chip.
Dry
- ¾ cup masa harina (nixtamalized corn flour, not cornmeal)
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- Optional: ¼ tsp lime zest, pinch of cumin
Wet
- ⅔ cup + 1 Tbsp warm water
- Whisk the masa, salt, and any optional spices together.
- Add warm water. Stir to a thick, pourable batter.
- Rest 5 to 10 minutes. The masa needs time to hydrate or your chips will be gritty.
- Spoon into every triangle well, filling close to the top edge. Level with the back of the spoon.
- Dehydrate at 115°F for 12 to 14 hours. Done when chips snap cleanly with no bend.
Great with: salsa, guacamole, bean dip, or crumbled over a salad as a salty crunch.
For a faster, more deeply crisped version, run them at 135°F for 8 hours instead. Flavor is identical, just a shorter cycle and a darker chip.
Everything Bagel Chips
The same crisp cracker base, flavored with sesame, poppy, dried garlic, and dried onion. Tastes like the top of a fresh bagel in chip form.
Dry
- ¾ cup raw sunflower seeds, ground
- ⅓ cup ground flaxseed
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 Tbsp everything bagel seasoning
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
Wet
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- Grind sunflower seeds to a coarse flour.
- Whisk all dry ingredients together.
- Add water and lemon juice. Stir until smooth. Rest 10 minutes.
- Spoon into every well. For extra crunch and visual pop, sprinkle a pinch more everything seasoning on top of the filled wells before drying.
- Dehydrate at 115°F for 12 to 16 hours.
Great with: a smear of cashew cream, mashed avocado with tomato, or a spoonful of hummus.
Smoky BBQ Chips
The hot, smoky, slightly sweet BBQ flavor you remember from the bag, built from whole-food spices and a dab of tomato paste. No powdered flavorings required.
Dry
- ¾ cup raw sunflower seeds, ground
- ⅓ cup ground flaxseed
- 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp chipotle powder (dial to taste)
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
Wet
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- Grind sunflower seeds to a coarse flour.
- Whisk all dry ingredients together.
- Whisk the tomato paste into the warm water first, then add lemon and maple syrup if using. Pour into the dry and stir until smooth. Rest 10 minutes.
- Spoon into every triangle well. Level with the back of the spoon.
- Dehydrate at 115°F for 12 to 16 hours.
Great with: dunked straight into guacamole or ranch-style cashew dip, or stacked next to a sandwich.
