Equipment
- Mixing bowls For combining dry and wet ingredients.
- Measuring cups and spoons For accurate measurement of ingredients.
- Rolling Pin To roll out the dough evenly.
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat For lining baking sheets to prevent sticking.
- Baking Sheets To bake the tortilla chips in the oven.
- Pizza Cutter or Sharp Knife: For cutting the dough into chip shapes.
- Optional: Baking Rack: For cooling the chips after baking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for texture)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional, for flavor)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2-4 tablespoons water (as needed to form the dough)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum (if using), salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Form Dough: Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should hold together and be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Roll Out Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thin, even layer (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Cut into Chips: Remove the top sheet of parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the dough into small triangles or squares, resembling tortilla chips.
- Bake: Carefully transfer the cut dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with your favorite keto-friendly dips or enjoy them plain as a snack.
- Store: Store any leftover keto tortilla chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Here are some important notes and tips for making Keto Tortilla Chips:
- Consistency of Dough: Ensure the dough is well-mixed and holds together but isn't too wet. Adjust water or flour as needed to achieve a pliable consistency.
- Rolling Out the Dough: Roll the dough thinly and evenly (about 1/8 inch thick) for crispy chips. Thicker dough may result in softer chips.
- Cutting Shapes: Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into desired chip shapes before baking. Uniform sizes will ensure even cooking.
- Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the chips while baking as almond flour can brown quickly. Bake until golden brown and crisp, rotating the pan if necessary for even cooking.
- Storage: Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To maintain crispness, avoid stacking them until fully cooled.
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with different seasonings such as paprika, cumin, or Parmesan cheese to customize the flavor of your chips.
- Serve with Dips: Keto Tortilla Chips pair well with guacamole, salsa, or keto-friendly cheese dips. They can also be enjoyed plain as a crunchy snack.
- Nutritional Information: Calculate nutritional values based on specific ingredients and servings to ensure they fit your dietary goals.
