Keto Low Carb Tortilla Chips

Keto Low Carb Tortilla Chips are made using mozzarella cheese melted and mixed with almond flour and psyllium husk to form a dough that is rolled thin, cut into triangles, and baked until crisp and browned on the edges. The result is a crunchy snack with a low carbohydrate count, ideal for dipping or nibbling in small portions.

Ingredients

  • 200 g / 2 cups mozzarella cheese pre-shredded
  • 75 g / ¾ cup almond flour ground almonds work well too
  • 2 tablespoon psyllium husk or 2 teaspoon psyllium husk powder
  • pinch salt
  • optional: teaspoon each garlic powder
  • optional: teaspoon each onion powder
  • optional: teaspoon each paprika

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat your oven to 180 Celsius / 356 Fahreheit.
  2. Melt the mozzarella in the microwave (ca 90 sec-2 min). Alternatively, heat gently in a non-stick pot.
  3. Add the almond flour/ground almonds and psyllium husk plus the salt and spices, if using. Stir until combined, then knead until you have a smooth dough. 
  4. Separate the dough into 2 balls and roll out between 2 sheets of baking/parchment paper. Roll out as thinly as possible! The thinner, the crispier your tortilla chips will turn out. 
  5. Cut into triangles (I used a pizza cutter) and spread out on a sheet of baking paper so the tortilla chips don't touch.   
  6. Bake 6-8 minutes or until browned on the edges. Baking time will depend on the thickness of your tortilla chips. I baked mine in 2 rounds, plus a third round for the off-cuts.

Notes

  • This recipe yields about 40 chips, enough for 8 servings when served with dips.
  • If psyllium husk is unavailable, replace it with 2 additional tablespoons of almond flour.
  • Pre-cut chips separate during baking without needing manual separation; this can be tried in future batches.
