When it comes to Doritos, you are either a fan of the nacho cheese flavor or cool ranch or both. Luckily, now that I gave you a recipe for crispy keto tortilla chips, it’s easy to make an authentic cool ranch coating to go with them.

Ingredients
2/3 cup almond flour -
1 tablespoon unflavored protein powder
-
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
-
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
-
3 tablespoons hot water
-
avocado oil for frying
-
1 tablespoon powdered ranch seasoning
-
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
Step by Step Instructions
Make chip dough
Add almond flour, protein powder, xanthan gum and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a medium bowl. Stir to combine. Add hot water and mix until dough forms.
Roll dough
Place dough ball in between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll out in all directions using a rolling pin to form a rectangle. Roll dough until it is very thin. The thinner the dough, the crispier the chip.
Cut shapes
Cut dough into triangle shapes using a pizza cutter or a knife. Let the triangles sit for 5-10 minutes while oil heats up.
Fried chips
Using a large skillet, add enough avocado oil to cover the chips as they fry. Heat oil to medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add a layer of chips to the oil (enough to cover the surface) and fry until golden. You can flip the chips if desired. Remove the chips with a slotted spatula or spoon and transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
Make cool ranch seasoning
In a small bowl, whisk together ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and remaining salt.
Can you use egg white protein powder?
I haven’t tried that substitution yet, so I’m not sure how well it works. If you test it out, let me know—I’d love to hear how it turns out!
These chips were a total game changer for my keto snacks. The cool ranch flavor really stood out and I loved how easy it was to roll the dough super thin. Definitely making these again for my next party.
I made these for movie night and they came out super crispy. I was surprised at how close they tasted to real Doritos. I did let the dough sit a little longer before frying and that seemed to help.
Question what if you want to use coconut flour how much flour should I use for this recipe ?
I haven’t tried that but I know coconut flour absorbs the liquid better than almond flour so you need less of it. May try 2 1/2 – 3 tablespoons of coconut flour. You can always sprinkle in more or add more water if needed.
Where’s the link for corn flavouring ? oops just found it.
