10-Minute Air Fryer Copycat Doritos Crunchy Snack

Ingredients

• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• optional fresh lime wedges for serving

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, water, and salt. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
2. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cumin to the batter. Mix well to incorporate the spices evenly.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Pour the seasoned cornmeal batter onto the parchment and spread it out evenly to a thin layer, about 1/8 of an inch thick.
5. Air fry for 5 minutes until it’s firm and slightly crispy. Check halfway through; if it bubbles up, gently press it down with a spatula.
6. Once done, carefully remove the parchment with the cooked cornmeal from the air fryer. Allow it to cool for a minute.
7. Cut the cooled cornmeal into triangle shapes, similar to traditional nacho chips.
8. Return the chips to the air fryer for an additional 2-3 minutes to get them crispy.
9. Remove the chips, drizzle with olive oil, and toss with additional salt if desired.
10. Serve warm with fresh lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty touch.
