Best Chips for Dips

Now, back to finding the best chips for dips that you can lay out for your upcoming party – and the best dips for each kind of chips!

White Corn Chip

These chips are slightly salty, thick, and crispy, which means they’ll hold the dip without breaking. And fun fact: there are gluten-free varieties available of this chip – this way everybody gets to enjoy them!

White corn chips pair well with various dips. But we recommend choosing from salsa, guacamole, or queso.

The best white corn chips

• Tostitos Scoops
• Santitas White Corn Tortilla Chips
• Late July Organic Sea Salt & Lime Tortilla Chips

Salted Potato Chips

These are an all-time classic favorite of many. Pringles and Lays chips are the go-tos, but you can pick whatever brand you, or your party, like the most.

Since they’re super thin chips, they pair better with creamy dips. That shouldn’t limit you, though, the options are still endless!

You have sour yet savory onion dip or for a stronger kick, a French onion dip. There’s also America’s beloved tangy dressing: ranch. Cheese dip and sour cream with chives are great options, too.

Pita Bread Chips

Having a theme party with a Mediterranean flair? Maybe you’re a fan of Middle Eastern food and Mediterranean healthy meals? Pita bread chips will quickly become a personal favorite snack of yours.

Make sure you cut the bread into smaller sections, season them well, and then toast or bake them after to get that crispy texture. And to stay on theme, pick a Middle Eastern dip to pair with this chip.

Your choices include the ever-so-famous hummus, the yogurt-based tzatziki dip, smoky baba ganoush, or a briny olive tapenade. A spinach and crumbly feta dip would also be perfect.

Lentil Chips

For a healthy and nutrition-packed alternative, grab a pack of lentil chips. They’re airy, earthy, fluffy, and still offer a satisfying crunch. They’re also rich in protein and fiber, and you might find a gluten-free alternative to them too.

That said, lentil chips are best paired with zesty and creamy dips. In fact, a lot of the dips we mentioned before would work just fine with lentil chips. Those include salsa, guacamole, greek yogurt dip, and hummus.

Crispy Tortilla Chips

Looking for the perfect crunch? You can’t go wrong with tortilla chips—especially Doritos chips. 

Besides their crispness, these chips are also thick enough to hold dip. They’re mild, too, so they won’t overpower your dip’s ingredients.

Speaking of dips, tortilla chips pair well with salsa (whether mild or spicy), creamy guacamole, melted queso, protein-packed bean dip, or, for a unique twist, spinach artichoke dip. 

The best crispy tortilla chips

• Doritos (Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch)
• Garden of Eatin’ Blue Corn Tortilla Chips
• Xochitl Thin & Crispy Stone-Ground Corn Chips

Bite-Size Tortilla Rounds

Bite-size tortilla rounds (and here, we mean Tostitos’ chips) are super fun to munch on! If you have kids at your party, putting out a plate of these petite chips is recommended. The kids won’t leave much of a mess either since each round is the perfect bite size.

What to pair it with? Any dip that works with tortilla chips would work with these tortilla rounds. 

So, pick from gooey queso, mild salsa (don’t give the kids a spicy one!), rich guacamole, or a healthy bean dip.

• Tostitos Bite Size Rounds
• Juanita’s Mexican Style Homestyle Tortilla Chips
• On The Border Cafe Style Bite Size Tortilla Chips

Veggie Chips

Last on our list, we have veggie chips – the colorful and healthier alternative to potato chips.

Veggie chips are usually made from a mix of thinly sliced sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, kale, spinach, and often parsnips. They have an insane crunch when fried correctly and combine a sweet and earthy flavor.

For that, put out these chips with whipped feta dip, roasted red pepper hummus, mango salsa, or baba ganoush. But really, these chips work with way more dips than you think. So, be creative!
