Crunchy Snacks

Zucchini Chips

Zucchini is one of those awesome keto foods because it can be used so many different ways. This is one of those ways that makes a great and tasty keto-approved snack that is nice and crispy. If you’re sharing, make sure you prepare enough because these probably won’t last very long…

Crunchy Kale Chips

Chips are a staple snack item. There’s a chip snack out there for everyone. You’ve just got to find it. One great keto chip snack is the kale chip! Try this recipe out for a satisfyingly crunchy chip that allows for lots of variation. I would recommend using nutritional yeast instead of parmesan to flavor them and keep it dairy-free.

Baked Nacho Kale Chips

I’m calling for a nacho night this week, and this recipe will work perfectly! Grab some friends…or enjoy these all to yourself.

Paleo Dipping Chips

These are great chips for dipping into your favorite salsa or dipping sauce. Perfect for keto movie nights and keto party food!

Parsnip Chips

Here come more chip options! If you’re like me and just like to experiment, then you’ll probably want to try out these chips. The chip form of a parsnip is actually very low in carbs (1 cup serving is only 4g net carbs!). What makes them even better is the short amount of time it takes to prepare them. So have at it and enjoy a new keto snack!

Radish Chips

You can’t say I didn’t give you plenty of chip options, because here’s yet another chip recipe. It’ll be hard to beat 2.4g net carbs per serving!

Salted Crispy Almonds

This is a perfect snack that you can make in bulk, and you can add other nuts or grind them up to make into granola. These are also fantastic to take with you wherever you go for a quick and keto snack.

Low-Carb Homemade Crackers with Rosemary and Olive Oil

These are super easy and super delicious! It won’t be long before this recipe makes it to the top of your favorite keto snack list.

Roasted Herb Crackers

Loaded with fiber, iron, magnesium, vitamin B6, and lots of crunch, these crackers will definitely satisfy your inner keto crunch cravings.

Thyme and Onion Crackers

More than your average cracker, these are going to cause a little conflict because you’re going to have to decide which of these cracker recipes are your new favorite keto cracker. But don’t sweat it, because we know they are all fabulous! To keep it keto, replace the grapeseed oil with Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil for that added high-fat and unprocessed goodness.

Roasted Cauliflower Popcorn

There are days when crunchiness is king, and if you’re having one of those days then you’ve got to try this keto snack. Hold the butter and use coconut oil instead to keep it dairy-free.

Perfect Summer Salad

Crunchy veggies make for an oh-so-refreshing snack that is perfect on a hot summer day. For this recipe, leave out the carrots and use green bell peppers only to keep it low-carb. I would also add a couple tablespoons of olive oil or avocado oil to the mix to make it higher in fat.

Keto Pork Rind Puppy Chow

Kick back and chow down on some good ol’ puppy chow! This recipe is good for the keto diet, but I recommend replacing the butter with extra coconut oil and the peanut butter with almond butter for extra nutrients and making it dairy-free.

Crunchy & Nutty Cauliflower Salad

Crunchy and nutty is where it’s at! This snack is for those days where you just need a good salad. For a dairy-free option, replace the sour cream with Primal Kitchen Mayonnaise or my own Vegan Sour Cream.

Popcorn Cauliflower

One activity that’s particularly fun in the summer is the drive-in movies. A movie outside under the stars, enjoying the warm summer weather, and a bunch of tasty snacks is a recipe for fun. So just pop this scrumptious keto snack in and your taste buds will thank you. If you share, your friends will thank you too!

Sweet & Crunchy Snacks

Roasted Cinnamon Vanilla Almonds

The sweet tooth is calling, and this keto snack is the perfect combo of sweet and crunchy. The cashews are a bit too high in carbs, so use almonds for this addicting keto crunchiness.

Chocolate Kale Chips

Can’t get enough kale? Neither can I. And this recipe involves chocolate. Crunchy and chocolate, what could be better? Replace the maple syrup with alcohol-free stevia, and you’re golden!

Nut Clusters

When you’re feeling a bit nutty, this snack has got your name all over it. It also has chocolate, so I’m thinking it’s definitely a winner. Just replace the peanuts with almonds (or other nuts/seeds that are low-carb).

Vanilla Protein Bark

If you’re more of a vanilla fan, then you’re in luck. This one is just for you! The fermented Vegan proteins+ make this an extra keto-friendly sweet snack.

Caramelized Coconut Chips

This one’s a combo of both salty and sweet, so it’s perfect for those days you can’t make up your mind. They take about 5 minutes to make, so you won’t have to wait long to enjoy your delicious keto snack!
