Some Tips on How To Make Perfect Keto Chips

Even if we said that these chips are easy to make, the truth is that there are some specific processes that you must follow to create the perfect crunchy and delicious snack we are talking about. Here are some tips you must be aware of:

• First of all, you need to ensure that the net carb amount is still within the limit considering some additions you might want to include such as garlic powders and other seasonings. Watch out as some seasonings can be very high in carbs!
• Start your dough using a microwave instead of a non-stick pot. You will need to soften the cheese without it sticking and burning while melting. Doing so using a pot is possible, but cleaning the pot can be a bit of a hassle, and chances are the dough won’t mix well. When microwaved, the cheese won’t stick and it will guarantee a mess-free result.
• Make sure to make extra crips chips, to hold on well on salsas and other toppings. That means that you’ll have to bake your keto chips well and to roll the dough very thin. The thinner the dough, the better!
• To roll the dough thin, you must press firmly on the rolling pin. To do so effectively, a good tip is to roll your chips between two pieces of parchment paper.
• Bake your chips on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. You can bake them twice to get that extra crunch that will make them irresistible.
• Don’t be afraid of brown spots! It is common for the thinnest part to get brown because of the reaction of the almond flour.
