These crisp cauliflower chips are low in carbs and can be made in either the oven or your air fryer. Plus, they require just cauliflower, Parmesan cheese and seasonings to make! Swap out the Italian seasoning for ranch seasoning or your favorite spice blend for a different flavor profile.

Ingredients

2 cups riced cauliflower (12 ounces; see Tip)
1 ⅓ cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Position racks in top and bottom third of oven; preheat to 375°F. (Alternatively, see Air-Fryer Version below.) Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray.
Place cauliflower in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High, uncovered and stirring halfway through, until tender, about 2 minutes. Place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel (or paper towels); squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Place the cauliflower in a medium bowl; add Parmesan, Italian seasoning, pepper and salt; stir until combined.
Using a leveled tablespoon, portion mounds of cauliflower mixture 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Using a lightly greased bottom of a measuring cup or glass, press each portion into a circle about 1/8 inch thick.
Bake both pans, rotating them halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; let cool completely, about 20 minutes.

Tip

To make your own cauliflower rice: Break 1 medium head cauliflower into florets. Pulse in a food processor until chopped into rice-size pieces.

Air-Fryer Version

Prepare cauliflower through Step 3. Preheat air fryer to 325°F for 5 minutes. Lightly coat the fry basket with cooking spray. Working in batches, gently place the cauliflower circles in the basket. Cook until mostly golden, about 8 minutes. Gently flip the chips and continue to cook until golden all over, about 5 more minutes. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes, before serving. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
