These Keto Cheddar Cheese Crisps are the perfect crunchy, low-carb snack. Made with just cheddar cheese, they’re baked until crispy and golden, giving you all the cheesy goodness without the carbs. Great for snacking, serving with dips, or even as a crunchy topping for salads and soups!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (preferably aged)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Cheese: Using shredded cheddar cheese, spoon small piles (about 1 tablespoon each) of cheese onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them at least 1 inch apart to allow for spreading.
  3. Season the Cheese (Optional): If desired, sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika over each cheese pile for extra flavor.
  4. Bake the Crisps: Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is golden brown around the edges. Watch carefully, as cheese crisps can burn quickly.
  5. Cool and Serve: Once baked, let the cheese crisps cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will crisp up as they cool. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color, if desired.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the crisps on their own as a snack, or pair them with your favorite keto-friendly dip.
