Ingredients & Substitutions

• 1 cup shredded cheese – Cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan are perfect for this recipe. If you prefer a different cheese, choose one that melts and crisps well, like Gruyère or Gouda.
• Optional toppings – Add a sprinkle of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or chili flakes for a bit of extra flavor.

How to Make It: Simple Instructions for Perfect Results

1. Prep and Preheat
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cheese from sticking.

2. Form the Cheese Chips
Place small mounds of shredded cheese (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart. These will spread as they bake, so give them room. If you’re adding any seasonings, sprinkle them on top of each mound now.

3. Bake the Chips
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-8 minutes, or until the edges of the cheese rounds start to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as they can quickly go from golden to overly crisp!

4. Cool on Rack
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cheese chips cool on the sheet for a few minutes. Then, use a spatula to carefully transfer each chip to a cooling rack to finish setting up.

5. Serve and Enjoy
Your Keto Cheese Chips are ready to enjoy once cooled! Serve them on their own or with your favorite keto-friendly dips, like guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.

Tips for Perfect Cheese Chips

• Choose the Right Cheese: Firmer cheeses like cheddar and Parmesan work best because they crisp up nicely. Softer cheeses may not hold their shape as well.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Make sure there’s enough space between the cheese mounds for the best, crispiest result.
• Flavor Variations: Try different seasonings to add extra flavor—paprika, onion powder, or Italian herbs can make these chips even tastier.

Storage Tips: Keep Your Recipe Fresh for Longer

• Storage: Store any leftover cheese chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They may lose a bit of their crunch over time.
• Re-crisping: To restore any lost crunch, place them in a 350°F oven for about 2 minutes.

Common Questions and Helpful Answers

Can I make these in a microwave?
Yes, you can! Place small cheese mounds on a microwave-safe plate lined with parchment and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Do I need to add oil?
Nope! The cheese has enough natural fat to keep it from sticking.

Can I use pre-shredded cheese?
Pre-shredded cheese works fine, but keep in mind it often contains anti-caking agents, which may slightly affect texture.
