Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, unflavored protein powder, sea salt. Add the egg, the olive oil. Start mixing to combine all ingredients together; based on the type of protein powder used, you may need to adjust with up to 1 ½ tbsp of water or milk (see notes*).
Sprinkle a clean surface with flour and knead the protein dough until it is smooth.
Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a thin rectangle then cut into triangles or wedges.
Line the protein chip triangles over the baking sheet and drizzle or brush with olive oil.
Bake in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes flipping once halfway through.

Notes

This recipe requires the use of unflavored protein powder. For the best result I recommend plant based protein powders (I used unflavored soy protein), but also unflavored whey can work.
Based on the type of protein powder that you use, you may need to adjust the dough with up to 1 ½ tablespoon of water or milk. This may be the case if making protein chips with vegan protein powder. Whey, instead, may require additional flour if they make your dough sticky.
