Gluten Free Pasta Chips

· Leave a Comment

a bowl of chili lime gluten free pasta chips and a bowl of salt and vinegar gluten free pasta chips next to a bowl of ranch dip

This air fryer recipe for gluten free pasta chips is a great snack idea! I used brown rice gluten free pasta to make this homemade treat. I like them plain or dipped in ranch dip for a healthy snacking option.

This is such a simple snack to make! I cooked the pasta according to the packages directions and then drained it. While the pasta was still hot I added olive oil to help keep it separated. I divided the pasta into two separate mixing bowls and then seasoned them differently.

You could really add any seasoning blend you want or omit the seasoning all together and just add some salt. It is key that you add enough olive oil so the pasta doesn't clump together. This will help when you open the air fryer half way through cooking and shake the pasta to separate it.

Can I make gluten free pasta chips in the air fryer?

Yes! My favorite pasta to use is Jovial Gluten Free Brown Rice Farfalle pasta. The brown rice pasta holds together the best when I shake is half way through cooking in the air fryer basket to separate the pieces of pasta.

How long does it take to make gluten free pasta chips in the air fryer?

Like many gluten free foods it takes a bit longer to make gluten free pasta chips that it does using regular wheat pasta. I cooked these chips at 400 degrees for ten minutes. At the five minute mark I pulled the air fryer basket out and shook the chips so they weren't clumped together.

I let the pasta chips cook for another five minutes and then poured them into a bowl to cool. They will be very hot and continue to cook a bit after you have poured them out to cool.

Description

This air fryer recipe for gluten free pasta chips is a great snack idea! I used brown rice gluten free pasta to make this homemade treat. I like them plain or dipped in ranch dip for a healthy snacking option.

Ingredients

Scale

1 - 12 ounce package Jovial Farfalle Brown Rice Pasta, divided
2-3 Tbsp. Olive Oil

Chili Lime:
1 ½ tsp. Chili Lime Seasoning Blend
½ tsp. Sea Salt

Salt and Vinegar:
2 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp. Sea Salt

Instructions

Cook the pasta per the instructions on the package.

Drain the pasta and pour it into a mixing bowl. Immediately add olive oil and stir to help the pasta not clump together.

Divide the pasta between two bowls and add the seasoning to each bowl. If you are only going to use one flavor you can use one bowl, but remember to divide the pasta into two batches for air frying.

Add the first batch of pasta to the air fryer and air fry at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. At the five minute mark take the tray out and shake the pasta so it doesn't clump together. Place the tray back in the air fryer and let your pasta finish cooking.

Pour the pasta chips into a bowl or onto a cookie sheet to let them cool.

Follow the same instructions to cook the second batch of pasta chips.

Serve plain or with your favorite dip. I served these with ranch dip.

Gluten Free Chocolate Breakfast Cookies

· Leave a Comment

a white plate with two gluten free chocolate breakfast cookies next to a bottle of milk, a bowl of chocolate chips and a bowl of coarse salt

These healthy gluten free chocolate breakfast cookies are made with zucchini and chia seeds. This on-the-go breakfast recipe is lightly sweetened and packed with protein. These easy double chocolate cookies are a great idea for kids and lunches.

I like to use a large ice cream scoop to make a dozen of these cookies. Using a cookie scoop and pressing them down slightly makes these chocolate breakfast cookies really similar to Pamela's Whenever Bars.

I'm also a big fan of doubling the recipe and freezing half of these cookies for later. It's so nice to have them for lunches or snacks for trips. I get them out the night before and let them defrost. Be sure to open the bag or container to let moisture escape so they don't get soggy.

Do gluten free chocolate breakfast cookies take longer to bake?

Yes, gluten free chocolate breakfast cookies do tend to take longer to bake than cookies made with a gluten flour. The outside of the cookie will be browned, but they may not be cooked through in the center. 

If you are having this issue you can lower the oven temperature and bake the cookies a bit longer. I also only bake one baking sheet at a time of gluten free cookies. They need to be evenly heated to cook correctly.

Supplies Needed for This Recipe

How long will these breakfast cookies last?

These cookies will last about a week in an air tight container. You can store them on the counter or in the refrigerator. You can also freeze these cookies in a freezer safe container for up to a month. 

I like to freeze a few cookies in a container so I can take them out and add them to lunches. They are great to have in case I haven't planned ahead with something else. I also like to double the batch so we can eat half and freeze half.

Gluten Free Italian Keto Bread

· Leave a Comment

This easy recipe for gluten free Italian Keto bread is made with almond flour, olive oil and paremsan cheese. This loaf is perfect for keto garlic bread or cheese bread. We like this bread plain or toasted with butter spread on top. It is also great to make sandwiches with!

What is Keto bread made of?

Keto bread usually has a base of almond flour and/or coconut flour. Then eggs, baking powder, milk and an oil are added to form the bread. For this gluten free Italian Keto bread I also added spices, parmesan cheese and olive oil to give the bread a delicious flavor.

My bread may be a bit more yellow than yours because I used farm fresh duck eggs for this recipe. Duck eggs tend to have a darker yolk than chicken eggs and will give your bread a darker color.

How do I store my Keto bread?

This gluten free Italian keto bread is best stored in the refrigerator. Since there are no preservatives this bread won't last for more than a couple of days on your countertop before it goes bad. Especially if the temperature is warm or if moisture gets into the container you are storing the bread in.

Can I freeze this gluten free Italian keto bread?

Yes! This bread recipe freezes really well. I love to make extra loaves to freeze and then defrost when I want them to go with dinner or for lunches. I wrap the bread in tinfoil and then store it in a freezer safe bag. You could also store this bread in a freezer safe container.

Gluten Free Bagels

· Leave a Comment

a plate with a gluten free bagel cut in half with cream cheese spread onto it next tot a basket full of bagels

This easy recipe for gluten free bagels are boiled and then baked to get the perfect texture. These homemade bagels are made with yeast and I used everything seasoning on top. They are perfect for breakfast or a snack with cream cheese spread on them.

Buying gluten free bagels can get expensive! I found some of the brands upset my gut and others were too dry for me. So I started testing making my own. I think what is key for this gluten free version is boiling them in molasses water.

Since gluten free breads and bagels don't rise as much as ones made with wheat it's important to use the boiling process. The bagels really puff up in the water and then continue to rise a little when they are baked. It really helps you to get a fluffier bagel that doesn't have a dry texture.

a basket full of gluten free bagels with everything seasoning on top

What can I make with gluten free bagels?

I'm a big fan of eating my gluten free bagels with whipped cream cheese on them. But, I also love a good bagel sandwich with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese and turkey. For a breakfast version I fry eggs, melt cheese on them and spread mayonnaise on my bagel for a breakfast sandwich.

What You Will Need:

Can I freeze my gluten free bagels?

Yes! Bagels can be frozen in a freezer safe container or bags. I like to freeze them individually so I can get one out at a time as I want them. Although, this recipe makes 5 bagels and they go pretty quickly at our house. You may want to double this recipe so you have bagels to freeze for later.

Do I need to use eggs on my bagels?

In my opinion, yes you should use an egg or egg substitute on your gluten free bagels. The egg will help brown and have a nice outer layer like a bagel you would purchase in the store.

Eggs also add moisture to the outside of the bagel, if you can't use eggs you need to substitute with either flax seed meal and water or applesauce. You could use a combination of the two, but it will alter the flavor and texture some.

Warm Water
Active Dry Yeast
Honey
Gluten Free Flour
Sea Salt
Unsalted Butter
Baking Soda
Molasses
Egg

Air Fryer Spicy Roasted Peanuts

· 4 Comments

small bowls of air fryer spicy roasted peanuts on a large copper tray

This easy recipe for air fryer spicy roasted peanuts is the perfect snack! These air fried peanuts are a healthy snack idea that is crunchy and salty. They are great for a low carb or keto diet. I love making homemade roasted nuts in the air fryer for a delicious snack option.

My favorite part of roasting my own nuts in the air fryer is controlling what type of oil I use. I love to use avocado, olive or coconut oil in my nut mixes to add healthy fat into my diet. I can also control how spicy this recipe is by simply adding a bit less hot sauce or eliminating the cayenne pepper.

Can I roast raw peanuts in an air fryer?

Yes! I love to roast raw peanuts and other nut varieties in my air fryer. When you make homemade roasted peanuts you get to control the ingredients. This includes using healthier oils and controlling the spice level.

How long does it take to roast peanuts in the air fryer?

Its' so quick! I roasted the peanuts in this recipe for 11 minutes at 330 degrees. The key to perfect peanuts is to not leave them in the air fryer when they are done. As soon as they are done frying I pour them onto a parchment lined baking sheet to cool.

Let the spicy roasted peanuts cool completely on the baking sheet before moving them to a sealed container or bag to store them. They are perfect for a snack or to pack in lunches.

Air Fryers and Accessories

Do I need to wash peanuts before roasting?

I buy my raw peanuts already shelled and I don't wash them before roasting. If you are shelling your own peanuts you may want to wash them before roasting, although I don't think it's completely necessary.

If you do choose to wash your peanuts be sure that they are completely dry before you mix them with the coating ingredients. If the peanuts are still wet the oil and spices will not stick to them.
