Superbowl or not, I love chips and dip. There’s nothing like fresh salsa, guacamole, and some chips with a beverage, before a game, dinner, lunch, or just as a snack.
And how about nachos? Gooey cheese melted on top of crunchy chips, salsa, and maybe some beans. Yum. I getting hungry just writing this.

After yr of scd, these are the only chips (crunchy) thing he eats!!! Some tricks – I find the dough cuts best w a plastic knife, and I roll between 2 pieces of parchment that fit on cookie sheet for easily transfer. Keep the extra paper and then use it to flip the chips onto another cookie sheet (like a sandwich that is cookie sheet, parchment, chips, parchment, cookie sheet) so the flipping is super easy. Thank you!!! Your recipes are terrific and I’m not sure what I would do w out them.
Yay! Thank you 🙂
I’m going to try these as I also miss chips. Question: How many and what size chips do i make for the 1 gram carb count?
It depends on how thin you roll the dough and I give you the amount in the recipe, but on average the chip is about 1.5 inches on a side.
I made this for my son to eat on New Year’s eve and they were a hit!! I can always count on you for great recipes! Thanks so much!!
Aw, thank you! Happy New Year 🙂
I have made so many variations of these since starting SCD. My favorites are swiss cheese with caraway seeds…and…parmesan with cracked pepper and subbing white vinegar for the water. Thank you for a crunchy, salty snack!
what can I used instead of almond flour since I am allergic to almonds?
could I use coconut flour??
I haven’t tried it, but I would reduce the amount of coconut flour by at least 50%.
Just made an alternative version of these with Old Bay seasoning instead of the chipotle and chili powders and they came out great!
I just made these. YUMMY! I am so excited to add these to my growing collection of awesome recipes. I feel so empowered because I can take charge of my health AND enjoy my food! Thank you for sharing this recipe. It’s a keeper!
Great to hear!
I made these today and they are fantastic! I think I baked them a tad too long but will bake less next time. Rolled them super thin so they’re extra crunchy.
Great! thanks – yes, the thinner, the crunchier 🙂
I just made these. Amazing! as always. You are the best. Your recipes really help me stay on track.
Thanks Mari! So nice to hear. Best wishes, Erica
I used this recipe to make a crust for a taco pie, and it was great! I flattened the ball of dough into the bottom of a greased glass pie pan, and baked it for 10 minutes. Then, I put the filling in (ground beef, refried beans, etc) and baked it for 15 more minutes. Such an awesome recipe!
Love that idea! Thanks.
I’m in the process of making these and had a question. Do I transfer the cut slices onto the cookie sheet with the non-stick still in place? Meaning, I noticed you used a silpat mat or something similar. Did you transfer the silpat mat to the cookie sheet as well? If so, what do I do when it’s time to flip them? Do I use a spatula or just flip the parchment paper (in your case silpat mat)?
Thanks!
Yes, transfer the parchment paper to the cookie sheet. Almond flour tends to stick to surfaces when it bakes. It also helps it crisp when it’s on a non-stick surface.
Thanks so much for this recipe! I made these tonight and they were wonderful…..felt just like eating “real” tortilla chips! I can finally enjoy Taco Salad again!!
Where can I find legal chili powder?
Thanks
I’m not positive it’s SCD legal, if that’s what you mean, but I use the Simply Organic chili powder. they don’t seem to have additives, but you can send them an email to check.
We grind dried ancho chili peppers to use for chili powder. Taste great!!
wow, nice! love ancho chilis!
I just made these and they are AMAZING. I don’t think I rolled mine thin enough, so they came out tasting quite a bit like cheese straws – which is absolutely not a bad thing. 😉 I will blog about this later today. Thank you! (And thanks for all the recipes. Just came across your site while researching coconut flour recipes. Am attempting the lemon and poppyseed muffins later!)
I rolled mine too thin, and they got a bit too brown in the oven. They are still good, nice crisp and great with salsa. I’ll roll them a bit thicker next time, and check to be sure they don’t brown too much.
I just took these out of the oven. OMG!! Incredible! Will definitely be making these often. Pinned this on pinterest.
Hey Erica,
My son and I are going to give these a try! They look so yummy and he has been begging me for chips! Got some guacamole that will go perfect with them. 😉 Do you know how long they will keep?
Thanks!
They haven’t lasted too long, but for me they lasted about a week, sealed at room temperature.
Well I tried these with my leftover almond meal from making almond milk and they were pretty bad. :O( So stick with the regular almond flour. My meal was so void of anything that the chips turned out so bland even with all the spices added. I do hope I can find a use for all my leftover almond meal from making milk….
Can’t wait to try this with the real flour next time. I could taste the potential:O)

Bummer. Thanks for trying it though :). Now we know.
OMG…I just made these and they were amazing!!!! Thank you…even my very picky husband liked them! They are so good!!!!
Cool! Thanks. PS – love your photography 🙂
Still not sure my comment went through! Anyways, thank you for being of such help with gluten-free, lactose-free recipes! I love this blog, and it’s such a great new find! Keep it up!
Hi Claire! Yes, it went through. Thanks for the kind words!
They look good enough for me to give them a try.
I miss crunch, we do have pork rinds, but I miss
the grainy bite.
Thanks

Oooh, those look good. I love almond flour. That looks like something I would definitely want to try!
I make my own almond milk from home and have all the leftover meat when I am done getting all the flavor out for the milk process. Can I use the leftover meat for this recipe? I would love to find a way to use it and not throw it away.
Thanks!
Yes – great idea! I’m going to try it too 🙂
Tanya,
How do you make your own almond milk???? Would love to try that as well as making my own coconut milk. I am turned onto coconut oil and milk so much!!
Thank you!
thank you this recipe looks wonderful!!! Can’t wait to try it.
How much water?
Thanks! 3 Tablespoons of water (about). Just enough to get it sticking into a ball of dough.
How much water do we add? I don’t see it in the recipe! Thanks!
Yikes. Thanks! about 3 tablespoons. Just added it.
These do look tasty – similar to the tribites or whatnot, except with no yogurt cheese. I loved those before, but now I’m having an odd problem with my almond flour. I’ve ordered 5 lb bags from Honeyville Grains before several times, and they were fantastic, so I decided to go for it and bought the giant 25 lb box. It arrived in an oddly unpackaged way, and now all the flour somehow tastes so VERY almondy. I can’t describe it, it’s like I used the previous flour and added a bunch of almond flavoring. Boo. I can barely stand the baked goods, let alone anything savory … but I have an awful lot of it to work through. Sigh.
Try contacting Honeyville – that’s a lot of almond flour!
I haven’t had this happen w/ Honeyville (yet) but I think I know what you mean. It tastes almost like almond extract has been added to the flavor, or even amaretto type flavor? I think I’ve had this happen w/ TJs almond meal on occasion. I’ve always wondered if this meant it was rancid, and since the bigger bags probably move more slowly, I wonder if that’s a possibility?
Awesome! These look wonderful. Wish I had some right now! 😀
