“These crispy keto cheese nachos can be used to scoop up your favourite low carb dip, but I love them with my Guacamole. This recipe was based on using thinly rolled fathead dough where both sides are carefully crisped in the oven. Try this version, then play around changing up the cheese or herbs.” – Monya

More on Keto Cheese Nachos…
Fathead dough is a versatile option to create a variety of keto-friendly recipes. Here, I rolled the dough very thin and baked both sides to create cheesy nachos.

During baking, I remove the tray from the oven and use a pizza cutter to trim the partially cooked dough into smaller shapes.
Cheese is rich in healthy fats, which are a cornerstone of the keto diet. Fats provide a source of energy for the body and help you feel full. Cheese is also a decent source of protein, which is essential for maintaining and repairing tissue. Protein helps you feel satiated and can contribute to muscle preservation during weight loss.
These cheesy keto nachos are a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional nachos. Furthermore, the crispy pieces provide a satisfying crunch and are ideal to scoop up your favourite low carb dips.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making dietary changes. Scroll to see the full macros and allergens for these Keto Cheese Nachos.

Keto Cheese Nachos
Per serving
Ingredients
- 120 g (4.2 oz) almond flour
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 50 g (1.8 oz) Gruyere cheese, grated
- 140 g (4.9 oz) Cheddar cheese, grated
- 55 g (1.9 oz) full-fat cream cheese (soft cheese)
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan oven). This is 240°C for conventional ovens (or 475°F / gas mark 9).
- Cut three sheets of baking parchment paper the same size as your largest baking tray.
- Combine the almond flour, dried thyme and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate microwave-friendly bowl, add the Gruyere, Cheddar and cream cheese.
- Place the bowl of cheese in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute. Add the almond flour mix to the melted cheese and mix well to combine. Leave to stand for a minute or two to cool down slightly
- Add the egg to this melted cheese mixture and mix well to combine. This step can also be done in a mini food processor. (I advise you chill your dough in the fridge for 20 minutes if you have the time, as it makes it so much easier to work with.)
- Tip the mixture out between two of your sheets of baking parchment paper.
- Use a rolling pin to roll as thin as possible.
- Place onto the tray and then remove and discard the top layer of parchment. Use a pizza cutter to roll along the dough, making small triangles.
- Place the tray into the oven for 6-7 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven.
- Here is the tricky part: Place your third sheet of parchment on top of the partially baked nachos and very gently – using a large egg-lifter or an extra pair of hands - flip the entire thing so that you can bake both sides.
- Peel off (what is now the top layer) of parchment paper and use a pizza cutter again to make the slices more evident.
- Place back into the oven for another 6-7 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool completely before easily breaking up into the little nacho triangles.
- Delicious if you serve the keto nachos with Fats of Life Guacamole! (The macros are calculated without any dip and are calculated at an estimate of approximately 45g / 1.6oz (or about 12 nachos) per serving. Bearing in mind you may lose some due to the edges burning, you could yield 5 snack servings / 5 people with this batch.)
