Oh-So-Crunchy Cheesy Almond Crisps (Low-Carb & Gluten-Free)

Crispy, cheesy, savory—and simply impossible to stop crunching! These low-carb and gluten-free crisps require just 20 minutes of hands-on preparation.

After experimenting with cheddar cheese and almond flour, I finally achieved exactly what I wanted: the perfect cheesy crisp. Whenever I want to treat my family to a wholesome, savory snack, I can always count on this recipe. It is incredibly easy to make and can be served as a standalone treat, a delicious bread substitute for dinner, or alongside a warm, creamy soup.

It takes about 10 minutes to mix the dough and another 10 minutes to shape it. Plus, they stay wonderfully fresh for up to 5 days in an airtight container.

Here is everything you need to know to make them:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 8 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • A pinch of sea salt

Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Preheat and Mix:Preheat your oven to 380°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly until well incorporated.

2. Shape the Dough:Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form the dough into flat, cookie-like shapes. You can get creative with the shapes, but keeping them relatively flat ensures they become perfectly crunchy in the oven. For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle a little additional shredded cheddar cheese on top of each crisp.

3. Bake:Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crisps are a beautiful golden brown.

4. Serve and Enjoy:Let them cool slightly to crisp up even more, then serve them as a delightful snack or a healthy bread alternative!
