Keto Chip Ingredients
- Pepperoni Chips – Pepperoni (medium, pizza topping size) and spray olive oil
- Tortilla Chips – Tortillas (low-carb street taco size) and spray olive oil
You may choose to add different seasonings to complement different types of dip! Cracker pepper, sea salt, sesame seeds, and herbs can all be sprinted on the chips to add your own twist.
How to make Keto Tortilla Chips and Pepperoni Chips
These keto chips can be made two ways, so you have double the dip options! These two chips do bake at different temperatures and for different amounts of time, so you will need to do these in two batches.
Cut the tortillas
With street taco style low carb tortillas, you can cut it into four pieces about the size of store-bought tortilla chips. You can use larger tortillas, but it’s a bit more difficult to get pieces of the same size for even cooking.
Arrange on baking rack/baking pan
Place your cut tortillas onto a greased baking pan (or with a silicone liner) in a single layer. Avoid allowing them to touch much — Crowding reduces air flow, so the tortillas won’t crisp up as well if they don’t have some space.
Spray the tortillas with oil
A light spray of olive oil on top will help the tortillas brown and crisp. Spray both sides of the tortilla so they get nice and crisp. If you don’t have spray oil, you can brush oil onto the tortillas (but consider doing that BEFORE cutting the tortillas to make it easier).
Bake Keto Tortilla Chips
Bake your tortillas for about 14 minutes total. Halfway through (around the 7 minute mark), take out the tortillas and flip them. Return the pan back to the oven and continue cooking another 6-8 minutes. When the chips are lightly golden, remove and allow to cool 5 minutes before serving. If you prefer salted chips, sprinkle the salt over the chips while they are still warm.
Start pepperoni chips
Once the tortillas are removed from the baking sheet, place a rack on it. Arrange the pepperoni in a single layer so that they crisp up perfectly. Spray your pepperoni with a bit of olive oil.
Bake Pepperoni Chips
Pepperoni Chips should be cooked about 11-12 minutes, depending on your preference of crispiness. You do not have to flip the pepperoni because the wire rack allows for good airflow.
Serve
This crunchy, salty snack recipe is a keeper because these chips can go with so many things. The baked pepperoni chips are perfect with Jalapeno Ranch or Beer Cheese Dip. Tortilla chips is exactly what you need for Smoked Queso Dip or Crab and Bacon Dip!
Both chips would make a great lunch side, too — Add your chips to a Chicken Bacon Ranch Lettuce Wrap or a Keto Bacon Cheeseburger for a filling, low-carb meal.
Store
Both of these chip recipes can be stored in an airtight container on the counter up to 1 week. Make sure you allow them to cool completely before putting them in the container — The chips will not stay crisp for long if you store them while warm.
The pepperoni chips do lose some crispness after 2 days, but you can quickly regain some of that by putting them under the broiler for about 30 seconds. Keep a close eye or they’ll burn quickly! The tortillas didn’t lose any crispness throughout the whole week, so they will be perfect for an easy school snack.

FAQ’s about Keto Chips
Most chips are not keto because they include potatoes, flour, or other higher-carb foods. However, these chips only include low-carb ingredients, so these are keto friendly.
These chips are so light that they will fly around the air fryer, and you won’t get an even cook. If you have a wire rack (like the trivet from an Instant Pot) to put on top of the chips to prevent them from flying, you might get somewhat crispy chips.
For the crispiest pepperoni chips, yes, you do need a baking rack. For the tortillas, you do not need a baking rack at all. If you choose to use one, watch them closely as it cause them to brown too quickly.
You can, but the timing and baking temperature might need to be different. Some foods (like salami) are cut so thin that they can burn extremely quickly. As long as you keep a watchful eye, you can make all sorts of keto chips.
