If you’re following a carnivore diet or just trying to cut down on carbs, finding good snack options can be quite challenging.
Most traditional snacks are loaded with carbs and processed ingredients, which definitely won’t work for a carnivore diet.
That’s exactly why I created these carnivore egg & cheddar chips – they’re the perfect solution when you need something crispy and satisfying.
These chips are made with just two main ingredients: egg whites and cheese. They’re incredibly simple to prepare, but they deliver that satisfying crunch we all miss when following a strict diet.
The combination of protein from the egg whites and the rich, savory flavor from the cheese makes these chips both nutritious and delicious.
They come out of the oven golden and crispy, with a delicate texture that’s surprisingly similar to regular chips, but without any of the carbs or plant based ingredients.
👍 Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Good Protein Source: Egg whites and cheese are both high in protein. This means these chips can help you meet your protein needs.
Getting enough protein is important for lots of reasons, like keeping your muscles healthy and helping you feel full.
Satisfies Crunchy Cravings: Sometimes you just want something crunchy to munch on. These chips can satisfy that craving without the carbs that come with regular potato chips. The baking process makes them crispy, giving you that satisfying crunch.
Budget Friendly: The ingredients for these chips are pretty cheap, especially if you buy cheese in bulk.
This makes them a more affordable option compared to some special low carb snacks you might find in stores.

👨🍳 How To Make
Follow these steps to make the best carnivore cheddar chips:
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F and greasing a mini muffin pan.
Step 2
Sprinkle cheese into each cavity of the muffin pan (the cavities should be about 1/3 full).
Step 3
Beat the egg whites and mix in seasonings (if using. I like adding smoked paprika).
Step 4
Spoon about half a teaspoon of the beaten egg whites over each cheese-filled cavity.
Step 5
Bake for 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let them cool for 5 minutes. Then you can carefully remove them from the pan.
💡Tips
1. Let Them Cool
Patience is key when it comes to cooling these chips. The full 5 minute cooling time is important – it allows the chips to set and become easier to remove from the pan.
If you try to take them out too soon, they may break or stick to the pan.After the initial cooling in the pan, you can transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Grease The Pan properly
These chips can stick easily, and proper greasing will save you a lot of frustration when it’s time to remove them. You can use butter, oil, or a non stick cooking spray. If using butter or oil, make sure to coat the sides of each cavity as well as the bottom.

FAQ
Check out these recipes too:
1. How do I store these chips?
These chips need to be stored properly to stay crispy. First, let them cool completely – this is super important because any warmth will create moisture and make them soggy. Use an airtight container and place a paper towel at the bottom.
Add your chips in a single layer, then put another paper towel on top. The paper towels help absorb any moisture that might develop.
2. How long do I need to let the eggs come to room temperature?
Take your eggs out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you plan to start cooking. This is enough time for them to reach room temperature. Room temperature egg whites mix better and create a more even texture.
