'Lettuce Chips' Are TikTok's Latest Bizarre Food Craze—And Everyone Is Thinking The Same Thing

'Lettuce Chips' Are TikTok's Latest Bizarre Food Craze—And Everyone Is Thinking The Same Thing
@amalawadfit/TikTok; @houseofketo/TikTok

The healthy eating community has always had a complicated relationship with chips and crisps.

Some say regular potato chips are fine as a treat once in a while—even more if you make them at home yourself. Others encourage the use of foods other than potatoes—plantain, taro, carrots, etc...


Even kale got in on the chip action a while ago when flash fried or air fried kale chips became a thing.

Now, thanks to TikTok, we get to talk about "lettuce chips."

If you're wondering about the quotation marks, let's talk about what "lettuce chips" are and why the internet is calling shenanigans on them as chips.

TikTok account House of Keto published a video showing users how to make "lettuce chips."

This is wild #lettucechips #keto #lowcarb #healthysnacks #lowcalorierecipe CC: @Amal Awad

For those who feel like they missed a step, let's review.

First, you get a head of lettuce and tear it into small pieces with your hands. The video specifies that you do not chop the lettuce though there doesn't seem to be a reason.

After the lettuce is ripped—not chopped—into a bowl, you toss some apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper and onion powder and mix it around with the ripped up.

That's it.

Recipe over.

Now you eat the "lettuce chips" with your hands.

House of Keto seems to have gotten the idea from another TikTok user, Amal Awad. She suggests using Himalayan salt if you like saltier "chips."

Here is Amal's video.

Do you Have a Salty tooth? Go for lettuce chips! Enjoy #plantbased #loweryoura1c #insteadofchips #challengeyourself #youarewhatyoueat #alwayslearning

By now I'm sure you noticed, as TikTok did, that neither recipe involves baking, frying or air frying the lettuce.

For most people, that's kind of the defining factor of a chip or crisp.

So if "lettuce chips" isn't chips, then what is it?

Salad.

It's salad.

You know it, we know it, TikTok knows it.

So TikTok has made their opinion VERY known.

"Lettuce chips" is just a plain salad eaten with your fingers as far as they're concerned.

But hey, you do you, folks.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
