    Lots of people here eat kale chips or cauliflower "fries". Not for me, but thought you should know some options.

    Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Straws in Sea Salt flavor are pretty darn close.

    Most of the special k cracker chips are pretty low in carbs, you also get a lot more per serving so that's pretty nice. Taste good too. I think the cheddar has around 18 g carb

    Have you tried pork rinds? They are great with salsa, guacamole, dips... crunchy and salty like chips and zero carbs. Also they can be found under their Spanish name, "chicharrones". (which is also more fun to say, especially if you roll the "r"!)

    If you have a mandolin or are really good at cutting thin slices, you can deep fry parsnips for a really great lower carb chip. I'm sure celery root would also be tasty. Sprinkle salt on them after they're done.

    Kale chips will mostly taste like olive oil and salt. The texture is just... shattery. They shatter in your mouth when you eat them. They're kind of awesome.

    Cheese thinly spread on parchment paper and then cooked in the microwave will form into a chip-like thing. Pretty tasty, low carb, but not super low in calories.

    Fiber Gourmet Cheeze Thinables.

    These are actually fairly high carb (18 g per 28 g pouch) but 11 of those are fiber, so only 7 net carbs. And only 60 calories.

    Moon cheese are cheeto like puffs entirely made of cheese . Fred Meyer's carries them but we do not have such a store here.You can find them at Amazon and they have 1 or 2 carbs per serving.The person that suggested them said Nacho flavor was really good but could not vouch for others.There are at least 5 flavors.

    I was/am a chip person. I ate a TON over the years. After changing to a healthier lifestyle Ive since discovered Sensible Portions Veggie Straws. They are so good. You can have like 40 of them for 130 calories and 15 carbs. Zesty ranch, honey mustard, and rosemary/olive oil are good. They also have onion straws in southwestern flavor.

    Celeriac is a chip-able veg, may need a hammer and chisel to cut it though (only kidding, a lethally sharp mandolin can do it).

    Oh! I forgot about chicken skins!

    http://www.amateurgourmet.com/2013/03/dont-throw-out-that-chicken-skin-also-a-meditation-on-self-control-vs-self-denial.html

    Zero carbs and you won't believe how yummy. This guy didn't invent turning the chicken skin into delicious crispy goodness. Don't throw out that chicken skin! Not only do you get a fantastic snack, you get rendered chicken fat to make all your meals fabulous!
