The Best Gluten-Free Snacks (Not Potato Chips/ Crisps)

Hello everybody. This week’s article, as you have obviously gathered from the title, is a review. I haven’t done a review of gluten-free products in a while, so it felt right to spend a bit of time this week spotlighting some of my favourite gluten-free snacks.

I love potato chips (or crisps if you are British like me). In my eyes, you can’t go wrong with a packet of lightly-salted potato crisps. Snack time sorted!

However, there are, of course, so many other savoury (and crucially gluten-free) snacks out there! But somehow I feel that potato chips/ crisps take most of the attention away from these other tasty options! In this article, I will be exploring some delicious gluten-free snack options (that aren’t potato chips/ crisps).

All the snacks listed and discussed below are products that I like and would personally recommend. It is important to note that taste is subjective.

Enjoy!

The 5 Snacks included in this review:

Emily Seaweed Crisps Sea Salt
Mister Free’d Tortilla Chips Blue Maize
Other Food Crunchy Okra
Other Food Crunchy Shiitake Black Truffle
Schar Gluten-Free Pretzels

Why this selection?

I wanted to cover products in this article that could compete with potato chips/crisps. Beyond taste, part of the beauty of potato chips/crisps is their convenience. There is no prep. It is a great, low-effort snack.

All of these snacks above come in packets and are ready to be eaten whenever. While they differ in texture and flavour, they all are just as delicious as potato chips and as convenient.

The Rankings

Mister Free’d Tortilla Chips Blue Maize
Other Food Crunchy Okra
Emily Seaweed Crisps Sea Salt
Schar Gluten-Free Pretzels
Other Food Crunchy Shiitake Black Truffle

👑 Winner: Mister Free’d Tortilla Chips Blue Maize

Gluten-Free and Vegan

These lightly salted and crunchy tortilla chips are a great snack. The dark blue/ purple colour is really appealing and different. They have the classic triangular shape. Out of all of the snacks on the list, I found that they stuck the least to my teeth. The packet is a good size, and the calories are decent per serving. I like that they aren’t greasy, one of the big cons of potato chips/crisps. Plus, they are very moreish. In my eyes, they’re 10/10.

Other Food Crunchy Okra

Gluten-Free and Vegan

If you enjoy a savory snack that it is on the sweeter side, you will like the crunchy okra. They are sweet, dehydrated and crunchy. Again they are good on the calories per serving, and they aren’t greasy. I would say their biggest drawback is that they can stick to your teeth a bit! Overall, they are delicious and one to try.

Emily Seaweed Crisps Sea Salt

Gluten-Free and Vegan

The seaweed crisps are novel and texturally interesting. They have a soft crunch, and lightly salted. Again they aren’t too greasy either. I liked the seaweed flavour too. They didn’t really stick to the teeth, which is great. The crisps had a little aftertaste though, which is why they didn’t rank higher.

Schar Gluten-Free Pretzels

Gluten-Free and Vegan

The pretzels are bitesize and easy to eat. They are lightly-salted and they have a bit of a crunch. They are very nice, it is just that they do stick to the teeth a little bit. Overall, there are a nice snack.

Other Food Crunchy Shiitake Black Truffle

Gluten-Free and Vegan

These truffles are salty, dehydrated and have a little bit of crunch to them. In a pack, they are slightly different sizes as well, but the salted mushroom flavour is consistent. They can stick to the teeth a bit. This is obviously not going to be for you, if you doesn’t like truffles.
