Creamy Whipped Feta Dip with Crispy Roasted Radish Chips
If you have been on the Keto train for a while, you know the struggle: the texture missing most often is the satisfying *crunch* of a salty chip. Enter the humble radish. While raw radishes have a spicy, peppery bite that isn't for everyone, something magical happens when you roast them. They mellow out completely, turning golden, savory, and shockingly similar to a roasted potato. Today, we are pairing these 'keto potato chips' with a luxurious Whipped Feta Dip. Unlike store-bought dips hidden with seed oils and fillers, this dip relies on high-quality fats from olive oil, cream cheese, and feta. It is airy, tangy, and incredibly rich. This combination isn't just a low-carb substitute; it is a sophisticated appetizer that stands on its own. Packed with Vitamin C from the radishes and healthy fats from the dairy, this is the ultimate guilt-free indulgence for movie nights or game days.
The Masterplan
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Slice the radishes thinly into coins, approximately 1/8 inch thick. Using a mandoline slicer works best for consistency.
In a large bowl, toss the radish slices with avocado oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
Arrange the radishes in a single layer on the baking sheets. Do not overlap them, or they will steam instead of crisp.
Roast for 15 minutes, then flip the chips and rotate the pans. Roast for another 10-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Watch closely near the end to prevent burning.
While the radishes roast, prepare the dip. In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the crumbled feta, room temperature cream cheese, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
Pulse until the mixture is completely smooth and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. If it is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or olive oil to loosen.
Transfer the whipped feta to a shallow bowl. Create a swoosh with a spoon and drizzle with a little extra olive oil. Top with fresh dill and red pepper flakes.
Let the radish chips cool for 5 minutes after removing from the oven to crisp up further. Serve alongside the dip immediately.
