WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS KETO CHEESE CHIPS RECIPE
- So Incredibly Simple to Make - Keto Cheese Chips are on their way to being your go-to keto chip recipe. This is because this recipe is so simple and ready to eat in less than 20 minutes.
- Just Two Ingredients - This may be one of the simplest recipes you ever see. With just two ingredients, cheddar cheese, and cayenne pepper, you are on your way to a delicious, crunchy snack.
- Cheaper to Make Yourself - You can buy keto cheese chips at the grocery store, but those crunchy snacks (such as Whisps) are expensive! Making your own homemade keto cheese chips is much more economical, and it's super easy.
- Delicious with All Kinds of Dips - One thing that I really love about Keto eating is the number of delicious dips and sauces that can be created and enjoyed when you're eating a low-carb, high-fat diet, such as Spinach Dip and Queso Dip.
KEY INGREDIENTS IN KETO CHEESE CHIPS
Shredded Cheddar Cheese - Shred your own from block cheese to avoid any additives that might be in bagged cheese. Shredded parmesan also makes delicious cheese chips.
Cayenne Pepper - These photos show me using cayenne to flavor the cheese chips to give them a nacho flavor, but you can use any type of seasoning you like to season your low-carb chips.
HOW TO MAKE KETO CHEESE CHIPS
While your oven is pre-heating, add shredded cheese in small heaps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave space in between so they don't melt together.
Sprinkle seasoning on top of each pile.
Bake as directed in the recipe, checking part way through to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool before removing from the pan.
BEST TIPS FOR KETO CHEESE CHIPS
Use any cheese you like in this recipe. Some of our favorites are cheddar, parmesan, provolone, mozzarella, pepper jack, Colby, and Gouda.
Just like the cheese, you can use any seasoning you like. Some of our favorite seasonings are smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, ranch seasoning, cajun seasoning, taco seasoning, and chili powder.
The number of chips you can make with this recipe will depend on how big you make the piles of cheese. You can make 32 Keto Cheese Chips if you use two cups of cheese and make each pile 1 tablespoon each.
Keto Cheese Chips made with 3 tablespoons of cheese can be formed into taco shells to make keto tacos, or even into tubes to create keto taquitos.
The trick to making perfect keto cheese chips is to pull them from the oven just before they start to burn. If you don't cook them long enough, they won't be crispy, they'll just be melted cheese. If you cook them too long, they'll blacken and won't be tasty.
Watch your keto cheese chips while they are baking. After 5 minutes, start checking on them every minute or two. They will be golden brown on the edges when ready.
Storage Tips: If you do have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Warm them up a bit and let them cool before eating to revive their crunchy texture.
