You're intentional about what goes on your plate. So why does snack time suddenly feel like a research project? You flip a bag over, squint at the ingredient list, and wonder what half those words even mean.
We get it. If you're gluten-free and you're gravitating toward snacks made with real food and simple fats like avocado oil, you're not asking for too much. You just want something crunchy, satisfying, and made with ingredients you can actually picture.
That's exactly why we put together this list of 12 gluten-free snacks made with real ingredients and avocado oil that taste like an absolute dream. We're spotlighting brands doing it right, including a few of our own favorites here at Jackson's, so your pantry (and your cravings) can feel good about every bite.
Why we love snacks made with avocado oil and real ingredients
Here's the thing about snacking: the fat matters just as much as the flavor. Many shoppers are gravitating toward oils like avocado oil, olive oil, and coconut oil instead of more heavily refined options. Part of the reason is balance. Research suggests that a diet skewed too far toward omega-6 fats relative to omega-3s may play a role in inflammation over time, which is one reason people pay closer attention to the fats behind their favorite crunchy snacks (source).
At Jackson's, we've always been guided by one simple idea: real food, avocado oil, and seasoning. That's it. No need to overthink your snack aisle strategy once you know what to look for.
If you want to go deeper on the topic, we've got a full guide to identifying oils in everyday foods and a breakdown of avocado oil versus olive oil if you're curious about the differences.

Always check your labels
Shopping for snacks should feel like a reward, not a pop quiz, but formulations change and ingredient lists vary from flavor to flavor, even within the same brand. Just because one product from a brand is made with avocado oil or another fat you love doesn't mean every product from that brand is made the same way. Always double check the label before you buy, especially if you're managing allergies or specific dietary needs.
Here's the good news: Jackson's snacks are always cooked exclusively in avocado oil, always vegan, and always made in our dedicated top 9 allergen free facility in Muskego, Wisconsin. That consistency is something we've never wavered on, from our very first batch to today.
As registered dietitian Julianka Bell put it in Business Insider, "My husband and I love crunchy and savory snacks. Jackson's chips are simple and made with lightly salted sweet potatoes with avocado oil." And customers agree. As Kathy S. shared in a review, "These are the best tasting, and are the only sweet potato chips I've found that I can actually have! Using avocado oil and all clean ingredients is a game changer for me!"
Your new gluten-free, avocado oil snack lineup
Choosing gluten-free snacks made with real ingredients and avocado oil doesn't mean giving up flavor. It means choosing snacks that satisfy your cravings and fit the way you already like to eat. Whether you're stocking up on yellow pea-based crunch or rounding out your pantry with a few new bars and treats, this list is a great place to start.
