Cheese Chips
These one-ingredient Cheese Chips are barely a recipe but are a fantastic low-carb snack! Dip these keto chips in salsa or guacamole, or crumble them up on a salad for extra crunch and extra cheese!
I love a crunchy potato chip, but sometimes, I don’t love the carbs that come with it. These Cheese Chips are amazing snack options for anyone on a low-carb diet and make the perfect dippers for your favorite dips and sauces!
I experimented with various cheeses to find the best one for this recipe. My favorite is the shredded Mexican cheese you buy in the bag. It made the crispiest cheese chips out of all the cheeses I tried!
Though I’ve been making this recipe for a while, I discovered another easy recipe to enjoy using a different kind of cheese. Parmesan Crisps are equally delicious, low carb and super easy to make! Dip them in a little marinara sauce for the perfect pizza snack!
You’ll want the Cheese Chips to look a little crispy to keep their shape once they cool. If you overcook them, it’s not really a big deal—you’ll just have a crispier chip. Just be careful not to burn them, as they do bake quickly!
Ingredients
- Shredded cheese — that’s it!
Are you looking for more of a kick? Feel free to season the cheese just before baking. This would go great with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, taco seasoning, or Italian seasoning! Try matching your dip style with your seasoning preference!
How to Make Cheese Chips
Follow along to learn how to make cheese chips!
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lay parchment paper across 2 (or 3, depending on your space needs!) baking sheets.
- Add cheese to the baking sheet, about one tablespoon per chip. Like cookies, leave room between your cheese piles, as they will spread as they cook!
- Bake for 5 to 7 minutes or until the chips begin to crisp. Remove from heat allow to chill, and set for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove chips from parchment paper and serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
I think these go great with pizza sauce, but any dip will complement these crunchy Cheese Chips, such as guacamole, salsa, buffalo dip, ranch, or even a cheese dip!
Storage Instructions
Since these chips are made with perishable ingredients, they must be stored in the refrigerator and can last up to 72 hours before they get soft—if you have leftovers at all!
Pro-tip: Usually I’d say store everything that’s cooked in an air-tight container, but not these. Store your cheese chips in a paper bag folded and clipped close to help absorb the additional moisture from the chips and the humidity from the fridge to keep these chips crispy longer!
How to Use
Dips and snacks are my first to-go for these crunchy, carb-free discs, but sometimes I make WAY too many and have to find other uses for them.
These are a great crunchy alternative to a salad or a fun element to add to your tomato basil soup instead of grilled cheese!
One fun part of this recipe is that you can easily mold or shape them into other forms before they cool! Place them over the underside of a muffin tin before cooling and use them as mini cheese bowls, or roll them into tubes to be stuffed for a fancy keto appetizer.
The options are endless with these delicious chips!

When making Nachos I love the cheese that falls off and gets crispy but I never thought of making it by itself so Thank you for this post!!
What a fabulous snack idea! I’ve never done this but will definitely try now. Thanks for posting.
Caught my attention in your email, I love cheese and what a great simple idea!! Pinned so I will not forget!
What can I use if I don’t have parchment paper? So funny you posted this; as I have shredded Mac and Cheese. It tastes unbelievable. I was just thinking how to make this.
Any advice about what paper; they would not stick to would be great.
You can make them without parchment. Cheddar is pretty oily, so I think it would come off pretty well from foil lined baking sheet, as long as it’s not burned.
I love making these with Parmesan, but I haven’t tried it with cheddar. Cheese anything is A+ in my book.
