How to Make Minimal Keto Chips
-
Melt the Cheese
Start by placing the mozzarella cheese in a bowl that’s safe for the microwave. Heat it for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and stretchy. This step is crucial for binding the dough and achieving a crispy chip. -
Prepare the Dry Mix
While the cheese is melting, measure out the almond flour and pour it into a large mixing bowl. Add your chosen spices to the flour and mix to distribute the flavors evenly. -
Combine and Knead
Once the cheese is melted, immediately add it to the bowl with the almond flour and spices. Mix everything together until a thick, uniform dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead the dough so the cheese and flour are fully combined. -
Roll Out the Dough
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten it to about 1/6 inch thickness. This ensures your chips will bake up crisp and not too thick. -
Slice Into Chips
Remove the top layer of parchment. Cut the dough into triangles or your preferred chip shapes using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. -
Bake
Arrange the cut pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crisp at the edges. -
Cool and Serve
Let the chips cool completely on the baking tray. This helps them firm up and become extra crunchy.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy your homemade keto chips with dips like guacamole, salsa, or any low-carb spread. They’re also perfect for making keto nachos—just add cheese, jalapeños, and avocado for a tasty treat.
Tips for Success
- Make sure the mozzarella is fully melted for a smooth dough.
- Try out different spices or cheese blends to create new flavors.
- Roll the dough evenly to avoid chips that are too thick or too thin.
- For a cheesier flavor, sprinkle a little nutritional yeast on top before baking.
Storage Advice
Keep your keto chips in a sealed container at room temperature for up to a week. If they lose their crunch, you can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
Frequently Asked Questions

You can freeze the dough before baking. Simply roll out the dough, cut it into chip shapes, and freeze. When you’re ready, bake the chips straight from the freezer—no need to thaw.
4. What are some good serving ideas for these chips?
These keto chips are perfect with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, or any of your favorite low-carb dips. You can also top them with cheese, jalapeños, or avocado for a fun twist.
