Upgrade snack time with these thin and savory cauliflower chips made in just under an hour!
Made with a healthy balance of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, you can rest assured that these crunchy crisps are completely guilt-free. Pack them for school lunches, movie nights, or a quick work day snack for midday munching.
To keep things grain-free, we use a blend of cauliflower, arrowroot flour, and nutritional yeast to help keep the dough slightly dry and dense. This texture will allow the dough to crisp in the oven, resulting in a dip-worthy cracker that’s golden brown around the edges.

For the seasoning, we combine nutritional yeast with dill, garlic powder, and chives to create an irresistible cheesy-ranch blend. It’s the perfect alternative to Cheetos or Doritos, and pairs well with dips like cauliflower hummus, Paleo sour cream, and guacamole.
Here are some helpful tips to get started:
- Be sure to moisten your fingertips with water. This will help prevent the dough from sticking so that you can effortlessly press and shape it into chips rounds.
- Wring out moisture from the cauliflower. This step is important, since excess water can create soggy chips that fail to reach their full crunchy potential.
- Experiment with these on-hand substitutions. You can sub out arrowroot powder for cassava flour or add in dried onion powder, basil, rosemary, or thyme for a new twist to the seasoning blend.
- Store them in a dry, airtight container. Due to the fresh cauliflower, these crisps are best enjoyed within two days for optimal flavor and texture.
