Crispy Keto Parmesan Tomato ChipsšŸ…

Iā€™m trying to think if Iā€™ve ever dehydrated anything and absolutely nothing is coming to my mind, so itā€™s about time I try it I think! I am unfortunately regretting my decision! Ha!


Actually, I think this is just one of those cooking techniques that needs a little more work and experimentation. I also only have a very small dehydrator function on my air fryer, so I used a large cookie sheet, with racks, in the oven at 275 degrees. Perhaps, if you have a dehydrator, these might come out spectacular because they were actually very good!


I started out with four tomatoes and the recipe states cut six slices, but I only got five because the recipe said thicker slices worked better, so I wanted to make sure the slices were thicker. I think that is definitely true that itā€™s best not to do thin slices because as the moisture is cooked out the slices get smaller and smaller.


Hereā€™s how they looked on Sugarfreemom.com (MUCH better than minešŸ˜„) Donā€™t they look so good?



I think also you could choose whatever veggies or fruit you like and use your dehydrator to make all kinds of chips!


This is the recipe I used.



I started out by slicing the tomatoes and placing them on racks over a silpat mat. You can also use parchment paper.



I then sprayed with avocado oil and sprinkled the slices with garlic powder and placed the cookie sheet in a 275 degree oven for about 3 hours.


The comments at the bottom of the page stated over and over the recipe was too salty so I elected not to use any salt because the Parmesan Cheese is actually very salty.


After 3 hours I removed the tomatoes from the oven and sprinkled them with the Parmesan, a little Italian seasoning and turned on the broiler for just a couple of minutes. Then finished the slices with a little chopped parsley.


This was a bit more work for very little end results. When the moisture is cooked out there isnā€™t much left, but what was left was very good. Some chips were very crispy, some were not. So maybe if I had a garden with lots of tomatoes I might give this another go!šŸ…


Hereā€™s the nutrition from Sugarfree Mom. Itā€™s also easy to over do these because the volume has been cooked out, so be careful!
