Ingredients (Only 3!)
You might already have everything you need in your kitchen:
-
12 teaspoons Egg Whites – From fresh eggs or a carton of liquid egg whites.
-
1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese – Adds umami and crispiness.
-
2 teaspoons Everything Bagel Seasoning – A flavorful mix of sesame, poppy seeds, onion, garlic, and salt.
Kitchen Equipment Needed
One of the best things about this recipe is how minimal the equipment is:
-
12-cup Muffin Tin
-
Nonstick Cooking Spray or Silicone Muffin Liners
-
Teaspoon measuring spoon
-
Oven
Optional:
-
Spatula or Butter Knife – For gently removing the chips.
-
Cooling Rack – Helps keep chips crispy after baking.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the chips release easily. You can also use silicone liners if you prefer.
Step 2: Portion the Egg Whites
Spoon 1 teaspoon of egg white into each muffin tin cavity. The egg whites will naturally spread out and form a thin layer—perfect for a crisp chip base.
Step 3: Season and Sprinkle
Sprinkle a small pinch of Parmesan cheese over each egg white circle. Follow with a generous sprinkle of Everything Bagel Seasoning.
Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are fully set and crisp.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the chips cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before gently lifting them out. Transfer to a cooling rack to maintain crispiness. Serve and enjoy!
Why These Keto Chips Work
This recipe is brilliantly simple, but the science is solid:
-
Egg whites provide protein structure and dry out quickly when baked, creating a light and crisp texture.
-
Parmesan adds fat, flavor, and helps with browning and structure.
-
Everything Bagel Seasoning boosts the umami and keeps the flavor bold and balanced—no boring bites here.
Tips, Tricks & Customizations
Tips for Success:
-
Use carton egg whites for convenience and precision.
-
Don’t overcrowd with toppings. A little goes a long way for flavor and texture.
-
Use freshly grated Parmesan if you want extra crispy chips—pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that don’t crisp as well.
-
Cool completely before storing to prevent sogginess.
Flavor Variations:
These chips are the perfect blank canvas. Try these swaps:
-
Cheddar Jalapeño Chips: Use shredded cheddar and a pinch of chopped fresh or pickled jalapeño.
-
Garlic Parmesan Chips: Add garlic powder and Italian herbs for a Mediterranean twist.
-
Smoked Paprika Chips: Sprinkle with a touch of paprika and sea salt.
-
Spicy Nacho Chips: Add cayenne pepper and nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
Storing Leftovers
These keto chips are best served fresh, but they do store fairly well when handled correctly.
Short-Term Storage:
-
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
-
Add a small piece of paper towel inside the container to absorb any moisture and maintain crispiness.
Longer Storage:
-
Freeze them in a single layer in an airtight container or freezer bag.
-
Re-crisp in a toaster oven or air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
