How To Make Cheddar Chips
These keto cheddar chips couldn't be easier to make. All you need to do is grate your cheese a pop them in the oven. Follow the steps below:
The Ingredients
- Cheese - You can use cheddar, Parmesan, Asiago, mozzarella, and pepper jack, or a combination will also work. I love using sharp cheddar cheese because it has a tangy and slightly salty taste with a rich and creamy texture. Make sure you don't use sliced cheese because it won't crisp up.
- Optional - Add your favorite seasonings, herbs, and spices to these chips. Garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and Italian seasoning are great additions sprinkled over these cheese chips.
The Directions
- Prepare the oven. To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Prepare the cheese. Use a cheese grated to shred your cheddar cheese.
- Prepare for baking. Divide the cheese into 8 portions and place them in mounds on the lined baking tray. Leave about an inch of space between each mound. Optionally sprinkle over your seasonings in this step.
- Bake the chips. Transfer the tray to the oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes until golden. Remove the tray from the oven and let the chips cool for 10 minutes.
- Cool and serve. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Storage Instructions
Keto cheddar chips should not be stored at room temperature for more than 2 hours as they can easily spoil and become unsafe to eat. Bacteria can grow rapidly on high-fat, high-protein foods like cheese, leading to food poisoning.
- In the fridge: It's best to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they can last for 2-3 days. To warm them up, simply pop them in the oven for a few minutes until they're crispy.
- In the freezer: Cheddar chips can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container or freezer-safe plastic bag. When ready to eat, remove them from the freezer and place them in the oven to reheat. This will help to restore their crispiness. However, consuming them within the first 1-2 months is recommended for the best taste and texture.
