Crispy, salty, addictive — these Keto Pringles give you all the crunch you miss without the carbs, oils, or additives in store-bought chips.

These chips bake up ultra-thin, perfectly crisp, and incredibly flavorful. They store well, travel well, and satisfy every crunchy craving without derailing your goals.


Servings & Timing

Servings: 30–40 chips
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10–12 minutes
Total Time: 20–25 minutes


Ingredients List

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven & Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping.


Step 2: Make the Dough

In a medium bowl, combine:

  • almond flour
  • Parmesan
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder
  • paprika
  • salt and pepper

Whisk together until evenly blended.

Add the egg and mix until a soft dough forms.
If the dough feels sticky, let it rest for 2 minutes — almond flour absorbs moisture.


Step 3: Roll the Dough Thin

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.
Using a rolling pin, roll it out to ⅛ inch thickness — the thinner the dough, the crispier the chips.

Tip:
If edges crack, just press them back together.


Step 4: Cut the Pringle Shapes

Use a small round cutter, bottle cap, or the rim of a glass to cut out perfect chip shapes.

Transfer each round carefully to your lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.

Optional:
Gently curve them over a metal spoon handle to mimic the classic “Pringles curve.”


Step 5: Bake Until Crisp

Bake for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through for maximum crunch.

They should turn golden brown and feel firm.

Remove and let cool fully — they crispen more as they cool.


Additional Notes

  • Thickness = Crunch → thinner dough gives true Pringles crispiness.
  • Don’t skip cooling → essential for chips to become crunchy.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Your dough might be too thick — roll thinner next time.

Optional Personal Story

The first time I made these Keto Pringles, I honestly didn’t expect them to taste this close to the real thing. They became my go-to snack on movie nights when everyone else was having chips. They’re addicting, crunchy, and surprisingly satisfying — without any guilt or sugar crash. Now I batch-prep them every Sunday!
