Keto Crostini Bread Crisps

When I was a child, my Mum used to buy us bags of “special chips” from a specialty grocery store in the city closest to where we live as a special treat. The “special chips” were actually sliced baguette toasts, and I’m guessing that my mum bought them as a "healthier" alternative to our favorite snack, potato crisps.

Also known as crostini, these days you can get these “special chips” in most local grocery stores, but the novelty never wore off for me, and these crunchy chips are still my go-to as a dip accompaniment when having friends over — scroll below to see our low-carb suggestions!

I actually think this keto bread crisps version is far superior to the traditional bread version — they have a nicer crunch (being crispy but not too dry) and they hold their flavour really well making them a great stand-alone snack. I usually flavour them with a little salt and some garlic powder or onion powder but you could also add other spices or herbs.

Step-by-step

1. Preheat oven to 170 °C/ 340 °F (conventional), or 150 °C/ 300 °F (fan assisted).

2. Make the keto bread according to directions, rolling into 8 long and thin baguettes. You will only need 2 baguettes so you can freeze the remaining 6 baguettes for future use, or store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

3. Once baked, allow to cool at least 15 minutes, then slice the baguette into thin slices, approximately no more than ¹/₂ cm (¹/₄ inch).

   

4. Combine the olive oil (plus optionally add 1 tsp garlic powder, onion powder and/or dried herbs of choice).

5. Arrange the crisps on a single sheet so that they aren’t overlapping (you may need to use more than one tray) and brush with the oil. Sprinkle with salt.

6. Bake 15 minutes until starting to brown, then flip them over.

   

7. Once browned on the other side (another 10-15 or so minutes), turn the oven off and allow the crostini to cool down in the oven (do not open the door while cooling!)

   

8. Serve with dips of choice, check out more tips in the post above. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
