Avocado Chips

Keto Avocado Chips Recipe

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.
