Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 Cup Almond Flour
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons Xanthan Gum
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Egg whole
  • 2 Teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Teaspoons Water
  • Frying Oil (see notes below) or Cooking Spray for cooking

Instructions

  • Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Add water (2 teaspoons), whole egg (1), and apple cider vinegar (2 teaspoons). Stir until everything is thoroughly combined. Depending on the size of your egg, you may need to add an additional teaspoon of water -- only do this if the dough doesn't stick together.
  • Divide the dough into 3 balls.
  • Roll each ball between 2 sheets of parchment paper using a rolling pin until the dough is even and just transparent.
  • Cut the chips into triangle shapes.

For Fried Chips:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and prep a large skillet with 1/2" of frying oil over high heat. Place a paper towel on a large plate, and place salt on the side
  • Once the oil is hot, drop 4 chips at a time into the oil, and allow them to cook on each side for 3-5 seconds. This will happen quickly, so be ready to flip and remove the chips to the paper towel lined plate.
  • While the chips are still hot, sprinkle with salt.
  • Repeat these steps until you've fried all the chips.
  • Place chips on a cooling rack nestled inside a rimmed baking sheet, and cook in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
  • Allow the chips to cool on the cooling rack - they will continue to crisp as they cool!

For Baked Chips:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread chips onto the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each chip.
  • Bake for 8 minutes, then flip the chips and bake for another 7 minutes.
  • While chips are still hot, spray them with cooking spray, and sprinkle with salt. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Almond Flour. Using fine-grained almond flour will yield the most "flour-like" results. My favorite brands are Bob's Red Mill, Trader Joe's, or Costco brands. 
  • Frying Oil should have a high smoke point and mild flavor. Please keep in mind that all oils are low in carbs, but some are considered "healthier" based on polyunsaturated fats. If this is a concern to you, opt for avocado oil, or peanut oil (slightly higher). If not, vegetable or canola are great frying oils. I use peanut oil for frying.   
  • Xanthan Gum is necessary for binding the ingredients of this recipe together, you CAN'T SKIP OR SUB!
  • Serving size will vary depending on how you cut your chips. The easiest way to calculate is to divide this recipe into 6 servings -- the nutritional information below is based on 1 of those servings:
