Ingredients
- 1 cup protein powder (unflavored or savoury flavor like cheddar)
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup water (adjust for dough consistency)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
- Optional: herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavour
Quick and Easy Steps
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by setting your oven to 190°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—no one’s got time for chips glued to trays!
- Mix the Goodies: In a large bowl, blend the protein powder, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. A little mix and mingle will do wonders.
- Create the Dough: Slowly add water to the dry mix, stirring until you get a doughy consistency—like play-doh but promising a lot more satisfaction.
- Roll Out & Cut: Roll out your dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about the thickness of a pound coin. Slice into chips using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. No need for geometric excellence here.
- Bake to Perfection: Spread the chip pieces on the prepared baking sheet, brush them with olive oil, and let them bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Cool & Enjoy: Once out of the oven, let them cool slightly before munching—perfect as a standalone snack or alongside your favourite dip!
Handy Cooking Tips
If it’s your first rodeo with this recipe, you might encounter dough that seems too dry or too wet. Adjust with small amounts of water or almond flour until you find your perfect balance. And if they’re overzealous in crisping up, just lessen their time in the oven. Remember, like any good movie, they’ll shine best when not burnt to a crisp.
