How to Make Air Fryer Keto Tortilla Chips (Step-by-Step)
Here’s how to make this simple low-carb snack:
You can follow this Easy Almond Flour Tortilla Recipe for the tortillas.
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a small bowl, make the flax egg and allow it to set for 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt, and any optional seasonings. Stir in the flax egg. Mix until a dough forms — it should be soft but not sticky. Add a little extra water only if needed.
Step 2: Roll It Out
Place your dough between sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin or a tortilla press (I highly recommend this one!) to flatten it evenly. For best results, aim for a 1/8-inch thickness.
Step 3: Cut Into Chips
Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the dough into triangles. Think classic chip shape. Keep them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: Bake or Air Fry
Lay the chips on a baking sheet lined with parchment or place them in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with olive or avocado oil and bake at 350°F for 8–12 minutes or air fry at 330°F for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Pro Tip
- Let the first batch cool on a wire rack before deciding if you want the second batch crispier. The chips continue to crisp as they cool to room temperature.
- The chips might need more or less cooking time depending on the size and thickness.

Storage Tips
Once your homemade tortilla chips have cooled completely, store them in an airtight container. They’ll stay crispy for several days—if they last that long!
