Homemade Crunchy Keto Chips Recipe
I feel like the homemade crunch keto chips are a myth. Or, at least, with every other recipe I’ve tried it seemed to be a myth because a recipe that calls itself a “chip” should have a major crunch factor to it. Am I right?
Well, today, we have successfully mastered the crunchy keto chips! And I mean crunchy!!! They are so crunchy that I took a little video clip of my husband biting into one of them because you can really hear the crunch!! They are extremely satisfying!
You know how I got the idea for this recipe? I was looking at all the main ingredients for keto friendly foods that are crunchy and Whey Protein Isolate is always at the top of the list. I decided to take what I know about the Keto Fat Head dough recipe and try to attempt to make it crunchy. But, I also wanted this recipe to be simple so I started simple. I didn’t realize the first time I made these crunchy keto chips they would be a big hit! In fact, such a big hit that my husband made his famous Guacamole recipe and it wasn’t long before all the crunchy keto chips were GONE! Oh! And, they held up to dipping them in the think guacamole dip too! That’s a strong chip!
Here’s the secret ingredient to Crunchy Keto Chips! You can use either or because they both do the same and pretty much taste the same too.

If you are craving keto tortilla chips, these are really good and are perfect to make keto nachos or serve with guacamole or your favorite salsa.
Homemade Crunchy Keto Chips Recipe Ingredients
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- [1/2] cup Whey Protein Isolate
Homemade Crunchy Keto Chips Recipe Instructions
Place the cheese in a microwave safe dish and heat it for about a minute until the cheese has melted.
Immediately mix in a [1/2] cup Whey Protein Isolate and stir.
Lay out a large piece of parchment paper and place the [1/2] dough in the center.
Tear off another piece parchment paper that’s the same size as the first sheet.
Use your hands to spread out the dough as much as you can to make a large rectangle.
Then use a rolling pin to roll it as thin as possible! I mean really thin!
Use a pizza cutter and cut out little triangles as seen in the process photos below.
Use the top piece of parchment paper on a large baking sheet and place the triangles on the baking sheet leaving a little space between each chip.
Place them in the oven and bake them for about 8 to 10 minutes at 350 degrees. It’s important to note the baking time will depend on the amount of time you need to cook them. You will notice them turn a deep brown color. Don’t let them go longer than a deep brown because they can easily turn to a burnt color pretty quick. Watch them carefully. Also, be sure to place them in the center of the oven so one side doesn’t cook quicker than the other. No need to turn them over either.
Be sure to allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before you touch them.
This recipe makes about 40 to 50 chips depending on how big you cut them and how thin you roll out the dough! I cut them into 2 inch size chips.

These sound amazing, gonna try making them soon. I think I’m gonna try making them with cheddar also, but maybe they’ll be more brittle
Hi just found this recipe and tried it, they are yummy, but only half of mine got crispy even after I baked them 5 minutes more. Also they puffed up a lot. Maybe its the pre-shredded cheese I’m using?
I made 1/2 recipe and had enough chips to cover a whole oven tray. Thin is best. They were crunchy but next time I will add flavouring – definitely salt, perhaps garlic, chilli and some parmeson cheese. Great starting point to experiment from. Love the crunch!
