FAQs

Are these keto-friendly?
Yes! These crisps are naturally low in carbs and high in healthy fats, making them a great keto snack.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! I prepare and bake them in advance, then reheat them before serving to bring back the crisp texture.
What can I serve these with?
I love dipping them in marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli for extra flavor.
