2 Ingredient Cauliflower Chips (Keto, Low Carb)

4816 shares

These crispy cauliflower chips are just 2 ingredients and make a delicious low carb and keto-friendly snack or side dish. The baked chips come out light and crispy and can be customized with your favorite seasonings. Plus, they taste better than store-bought ones! I’ve tried a few cauliflower snack products available in grocery stores and I haven’t really cared for them. So I decided to make my own. I love making homemade chips and over the years I’ve made some really fun ones like avocado chips and pumpkin chips. These cauliflower chips are very similar to parmesan crisps, but not as heavy since they aren’t made solely out of cheese.

Ingredients

Cauliflower

Parmesan Cheese

For this recipe, I use fresh cauliflower, which I processed through a food processor until finely riced. I have not tried the recipe with frozen cauliflower. It may work but you would really need to make sure all the moisture is removed since frozen cauliflower contains more moisture than fresh cauliflower. I also use freshly grated parmesan cheese. The parmesan cheese is the key to achieving a crispy texture for these cauliflower crisps. When baked, the cheese becomes crispy which is how the chips become crispy. I have not tested this recipe with the shelf-stable parmesan cheese.

Cauliflower Tips

The recipe requires finely riced cauliflower. Instead of the cauliflower chopped to the size of grains of rice, you want to make them the size of crumbs. You will need to wring dry the cauliflower to remove excess moisture. Cauliflower contains a lot of moisture and the moisture will prevent your chips from crisping up.

Cauliflower Crisps

These cauliflower chips are very similar to parmesan crisps, but they are made with both cauliflower and parmesan. They have a similar light, delicate and crispy texture. You can use these for dipping, but they may break. I prefer to eat them as is and flavor them with different seasonings.

1 cup (100 grams) freshly grated parmesan cheese

ground black pepper or other seasonings (optional) Instructions Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheet with parchment paper. Cook riced cauliflower until tender. I cooked the cauliflower in the microwave for about 2 ½ minutes but you can also steam it on the stove. Working in small batches, use a cheese cloth or similar type cloth to squeeze the excess liquid out of the cauliflower. When done, you should be left with about 1 loose cup of cauliflower (measured after you spread out the dried cauliflower) or approximately 98 grams. Add in cheese with the dried cauliflower. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined. Your mixture should be crumbly.

Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop up mixture and place onto a prepared baking sheet, spread 2 ½ inches apart. Using the back of a spoon, spread the mixture so that it forms flat circles. You want the circles to be thin (about 1/8 inch thick) but make sure that you don't spread the mixture so thin that there are gaps or holes. Repeat with remaining mixture. Bake chips about 10-12 minutes or until tops are golden and edges are dark brown. Watch chips carefully towards the end of baking to make sure they don't burn. Let chips cool on baking sheet (which will give them time to set) before removing. Notes The cauliflower needs to be finely riced to the size of crumbs. I used my food processor. See photo in post for reference. I recommend using fresh cauliflower and not frozen.

My measurements are in US measuring cups.

The 2 cups/216 grams is measured after the cauliflower is finely riced and before it is cooked. When you are done drying out the cauliflower, make sure to spread it out again. You should be left with a scant 1 cup of loose dried cauliflower. You might be able to use riced cauliflower but I would recommend chopping it up finer if you don't have a food processor. I added some ground black pepper to my mixture. You can also customize with other dry seasonings. Just mix the seasonings into the mixture before scooping it and spreading it into circles. I have only tested this recipe with fresh parmesan and not the shelf stable kind.

I used this cheese cloth.*
