7 Best Avocado Oil Chips | No Seed Oils, Just Crunch

Check price on Amazon

Eighteen single-serve bags in three kettle-cooked flavors — the lunchbox answer to a lunchbox problem.

If you pack lunches for kids, this box solves an everyday headache. You get 18 individual 1 oz bags — 8 Classic Sea Salt, 5 Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper, and 5 Hickory Barbeque — which is 50% more bags than the 12-count Boulder Canyon Classic box at the top of this list. Everything is certified gluten free, kosher certified, and non-GMO, and the 1 oz portions are quiet and portable enough for a backpack or a lunch bag without turning into an oil stain on the way to school.

The texture is the star here, and it is the most-praised thing about these chips by a wide margin — the kettle fry gives them a hard, clean snap that holds up even in the small bags. Flavor is a close second, and the variety pack earns its keep because you are not committing to one taste for a whole month. The value-per-ounce is genuinely strong for the format, and owners mention the portions are exactly the right size for a lunch or a package snack. The most enthusiastic review on the page puts it plainly: some households could not buy a second box fast enough because the first one disappeared so quickly. That is a compliment, not a flaw.

The trade-offs are honest and small. A few eaters find the chips greasy — that is the nature of a kettle fry and avocado oil clinging to a thick slice. Freshness gets a mixed note too, so this is not a box you want sitting in a warm pantry for months. There is also a light shipping complaint: a handful of customers note a box arriving short of a bag or two during busy periods, worth knowing if you rely on a monthly order. Otherwise the format does exactly what it promises, which is why it earns the value slot in this lineup.

Four bags of low-sodium kettle chips fried in 100% avocado oil — the everyday crunchy snack that does not shout.

For anyone who eats chips three or four times a week, salt volume becomes the deciding factor, and this is the bag built around that. Good Health fries these in 100% avocado oil and lists them as low sodium, with 30% less fat than regular potato chips. The 4-bag set gives you 20 ounces total, so each bag holds 5 ounces — 11% more per bag than the 4.52 oz Hardbite single bag further down. Gluten free, non-GMO Project Verified, no artificial colors, no added preservatives, no hydrogenated oils, and 0g trans fat round out the clean-label claims.

Taste carries this pick the same way it carries the rest of the shelf — it is the most-cited praise by a landslide, ahead of the healthiness notes by a wide gap. What people actually say is that the chips are not over-salted, which is the whole point of a low-sodium product, and the sea salt finish leaves the potato taste doing the talking. Clean ingredients and the salt level are the two supporting notes that come up most, and both reinforce the same story: a chip that respects your palate instead of bludgeoning it. It is a softer sell than the thick canyon-cut picks, and that is what makes it a strong weeknight option rather than a weekend-only treat.

Two honest trade-offs are worth flagging. Portion size gets a mixed read — some buyers feel the 5 oz bag runs out fast for the price point — and value-for-money splits the same way. This is a lower-volume bag set than the Boulder Canyon 12-count, so if you are buying for a crowd, that box delivers more per ounce. But if salt is the thing you are actively avoiding, this is the easiest bag in this lineup to open and eat a handful without a glass of water afterward.

Three bold flavors, all cooked in 100% avocado oil — the sampler pack for anyone who refuses to pick just one.

MARK’S splits its pack three ways: Barbecue, Sea Salt & Vinegar, and Sea Salt, each in a 5 oz bag for 15 ounces total. The set weighs 1.24 pounds total — 24% more than the 1 pound Boulder Canyon 12-count box, from just three bags instead of twelve. Everything is cooked in 100% avocado oil, so the seed-oil-free claim is central here, and it is gluten-free and non-GMO with no artificial additives or preservatives listed. The chips are kettle-cooked in small batches and thick-cut, so they deliver a slow-cooked crunch that stays loud even through a dip.

The all-natural angle is what tends to pull people toward this one, and it is also where it shines most in the review page — taste is the standout note, with clean ingredients the runner-up. If you want a flavor that actually earns the name barbecue instead of a vague smoky hint, the bold trio delivers where a plain sea salt bag cannot. That makes this a good gift-pack or road-trip set for a household that argues about snack flavors, because everyone gets a bag they like.

The honest caveat is fill level. The flavor holds up, but some reviewers point out the bag arrives about a quarter full, which is a fair thing to expect from a smaller batch brand, and one review flags a slower delivery than expected. On the value side, the price per ounce works out a bit high for a snack, so this is the sampler to pick when you want to try three flavors in one go, not the cheapest per-ounce route on the shelf. If you want a single flavor at better volume, the Boulder Canyon box at the top of this list is the smarter buy.

A single 4.52 oz Canadian import with a black sea salt finish — the small bag for the curious snacker.

Hardbite brings something the rest of this lineup does not: a black sea salt finish, imported from Canada, and a kettle-cooked slice that reads a little firmer than the typical sea salt bag. The 4.52 oz weight puts it right at the middle of the individual-bag range, and the label is clean — all natural, gluten-free, non-GMO, no cholesterol, and no trans fat listed. If you already eat avocado oil chips and want to try a different salt profile, this is the one to pick when the standard sea salt starts to feel familiar.

Healthier ingredients are the thread buyers pull on most with this one. The chips are cooked in avocado oil instead of canola, which is a real difference in the fry, and the short ingredient list reinforces that positioning. The texture sits between a standard kettle chip and a firmer restaurant-style crisp — several eaters compare it to a well-known crispy chip brand. The only consistent gripes are the price-per-ounce and, for some, a very hard bite; if you prefer a lighter snap, this is not the slice for that.

One buyer in the review history reported an inconsistent batch where the black salt flecks were missing, which is worth mentioning as an honest possibility but is far from the pattern here — most of what is on the page is simply that the chip tastes good and the salt is right. The bag is small, so if you want a long-lived pantry supply, plan on ordering multiple.

Scoop-shaped veggie crisps made with avocado oil and chickpeas — the dip-friendly bag that plays by its own rules.

BIENA is not a potato chip and does not pretend to be. Tasty Thins are made from chickpeas, carrots, sweet potatoes, and peas, dusted with Himalayan pink salt, and made with avocado oil. Each one is scoop-shaped, which is a deliberate move — one serving contains a full 35 crisps, where most chip brands put 7 to 10 pieces in a serving. If you have ever finished a bowl of dip with the bag still half full because broken chips cannot scoop, this is the bag that fixes that.

The dietary profile is broad: gluten-free, non-GMO, grain-free, dairy-free, and peanut and tree nut-free, made in the USA, and containing no artificial flavors or colors. At only 4 calories per crisp with 40% less fat than regular chips, these are the lightest, airiest crisps in the lineup. Buyers describe the texture as similar to a cheese puff — crisp and satisfying without being fragile — and appreciate that the bags are not mostly air and crumbs. For a family with mixed snack preferences, this is the bag everyone can agree on.

The honest limit is size. Tasty Thins come in 4-count, 4 ounce bags — 16 ounces total — which is the smallest total package in this group. Several buyers wish there were larger bag options for the price. Texture is also a different experience than a traditional kettle chip: lighter, airier, and less potato-thick. If you want the crisp, heavy crunch of a kettle chip you will want the Boulder Canyon or Jackson’s instead. If you want a dip-friendly veggie crisp that disappears by the bowl, this is it.

Ten 1.5 oz bags of three-ingredient kettle chips — the portion-controlled bag for anyone tired of giant pantry bags going stale.

Jackson’s builds its classic chip around three ingredients: non-GMO potatoes, avocado oil, and sea salt. That short list is the whole pitch, and it works — buyers cite the clean ingredients and the absence of seed oils as the top reasons they keep re-buying. Each bag holds 1.5 oz across a 10-pack, which lands in the balance between a lunchbox 1 oz and a full-size 5 oz bag. The chips are vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and free of the top nine allergens, so this is the safest pick if you are packing snacks for a group with mixed dietary restrictions. The 1.5 oz format also makes portion control easy for anyone who wants to eat a bag rather than half a family bag.

Crunch is where this one shines — it is the third most-mentioned trait on the review page, right behind taste and healthiness. The kettle cook gives the slices a hard, golden snap, and they are not too salty, which buyers call out positively. The texture is thick enough to hold its own next to a dip without breaking, and the flavor leans clean and potato-forward rather than heavy on seasoning. If you have been burned by bland sea salt chips, this one does not fall into that trap — the sea salt is present and even, it just does not dominate.

Where Jackson’s splits the crowd is price. Value-for-money comes up as a mixed note — some buyers think the 10-pack is worth the money, others find it overpriced for what is ultimately potatoes, oil, and salt. The 1.5 oz bag is also on the small side for a heavy snacker, so this is a pack for people who want a controlled portion, not a family that crushes a big bag in one sitting. If you want the biggest chip-per-ounce value and you snack daily, the Boulder Canyon 12-count at the top of this list is the better buy. If you want portion control and a clean label you can trust without reading the label every time, Jackson’s is the one to reach for.
