FAQs

1. Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but this will change the texture and possibly the taste. Almond flour keeps them gluten-free.

2. How do I know when the chips are done?
They should be golden brown and crispy. If they are still soft in the middle, they need more time in the oven.

3. Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes! You can cook them in an air fryer at about 375°F (190°C) for approximately 10-15 minutes, checking regularly for crispiness.
