These avocado chips are everything I want in a snack – salty, crispy, gluten-free, and low in carbs.

The Parmesan gives them a real crunch, and the lime adds just enough brightness to keep you reaching for more. No potatoes, no flour – just avocado, cheese, and a squeeze of lime.

If you want another crunchy low-carb option, these almond flour crackers are fabulous and kid approved. Or try my almond flour tortilla chips that taste and look like restaurant style chips.

How Many Carbs Are There in Avocado?

One medium avocado has 12.8g total carbs, but 10g of that is fiber. That leaves just 2.8g net carbs per avocado. Split across a whole batch of chips, you’re looking at half a gram per chip.

Is Avocado Good For the Keto Diet?

Avocados are high in fat, high in fiber, and loaded with potassium – all things your body needs on keto. Pair that with Parmesan and a squeeze of lime, and you’ve got a chip that actually fits your macros.

Tips for Making Crispy Chips

These chips are simple, but a few details make the difference between crispy and soggy.

Don’t make the batter too thick. Thicker chips need more baking time, and overbaked avocado turns bitter. The chips are plenty substantial as-is – just spread them thin.

Parmesan is what makes these crispy. Use the full ¾ cup. If you cut back on the cheese, the chips won’t crisp up and you’ll end up with soft, soggy discs.

Don’t skip the lime juice. It brightens the flavor and cuts the slight bitterness that baked avocado can have.

Watch the oven closely. Overbaked chips will have burnt cheese and a bitter taste. Pull them when they’re golden, and if you see bits of green avocado still showing, that’s a good thing – it adds color and a slightly softer texture in the center.

Get Creative!

You can take these avo chips to the next level by experimenting with different flavors. Add a dash of smoked paprika over the chips. Try Italian Seasoning and lemon juice. Or maybe try adding a pinch of ground Sumac on them. Either way, they’ll be tasty!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cheese instead of parmesan?

Yes! Pecorino romano works well here. For dairy-free, try nutritional yeast - the texture will be a bit different but it still crisps up.

How do I store leftover avocado chips?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Don't refrigerate them - the moisture will make them soggy.

Can I make these chips ahead of time?

You can mix the batter ahead of time, but bake them fresh for the best crunch. The batter holds up fine in the fridge for a few hours.

What can I serve with avocado chips?

They're great with guacamole, salsa, or ranch. I eat them plain most of the time - they're salty and cheesy enough on their own.

Are avocado chips suitable for a vegan diet?

Not as written - this recipe uses Parmesan. You could try nutritional yeast instead, but I haven't tested that swap myself.

  1. These turned out really tasty and have a great crunch. I liked them best fresh out of the oven, but they still held up okay the next day after I stored them in an airtight container.

  2. Absolutely delicious! Easy to make. The “serves 15” May be misleading, because that is the number of chips the recipe makes, so… one chip per serving? Still, that would only be about 8 carbs for the whole batch, and that is great. You’ll want to eat the while bunch! But in case you don’t, what is the beat way to store these?
