Carnivore Egg White Chips Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 large egg whites (you can save the yolks for another recipe or use them in a scramble)
• 1/4 cup beef tallow, butter, or ghee (for greasing and extra flavor)
• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional, if you’re okay with a small amount of seasoning)
• Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic powder or onion powder (if you’re open to adding a tiny amount of non-carnivore ingredients for flavor)
• 

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Egg Whites:
   • Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl, making sure there’s no yolk residue.
   • Whisk the egg whites lightly to break them up and make them frothy. You don’t need stiff peaks like when making meringue; just a good whisk will do.
3. Season the Egg Whites:
   • Add salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings (like garlic or onion powder) to the egg whites and stir gently to combine.
4. Grease the Baking Sheet:
   • Use a brush or a spoon to spread the beef tallow, butter, or ghee over the parchment paper. This step ensures that the chips get crispy and don’t stick to the paper.
5. Pour and Spread the Egg Whites:
   • Pour the whisked egg whites onto the greased baking sheet and spread them evenly into a thin layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
   • You want the egg whites to be spread out as thin as possible for them to crisp up nicely during baking. If needed, you can divide the mixture between two baking sheets for a thinner layer.
6. Bake the Egg Whites:
   • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15–20 minutes, or until the edges of the egg whites are golden and crispy.
   • Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking or burning. The chips will firm up as they cool.
7. Cut Into Chips:
   • Once the egg whites have baked and cooled slightly, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut them into chip-sized pieces.
8. Cool and Serve: Let the egg white chips cool completely on the baking sheet. They’ll continue to crisp up as they cool. Serve them as a crunchy snack on their own, or pair them with a carnivore-friendly dip like sour cream or a meat-based dip.

Tips:

• Texture: If you want your chips to be extra crispy, try baking them for a bit longer, but be careful not to burn them.
• Flavor Variations: You can experiment with different seasonings depending on how strict your carnivore approach is. Some may add small amounts of garlic powder or smoked salt for extra flavor, but if you’re sticking to pure carnivore, just salt is perfect.
• Storage: These chips are best eaten fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for a couple of days. If they lose crispiness, you can place them in the oven for a few minutes to recrisp.

These Carnivore Egg White Chips are a great way to enjoy a crunchy snack that’s fully compliant with a carnivore lifestyle, offering you a delicious and satisfying option without any plant-based ingredients!
