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!

These chips look wonderful! I’ve only made them with Parm before, but I’m thinking I need to try out the Mexican blend. 🙂
These look delicious! They could be great on a road trip, however you would have to get clever with the storing of them.
I have to try these.They will be unique for me as I never heard of doing this before.They really look delicious and will go well with all my homemade salsa.
These look amazing – and so easy!! Thanks for sharing!
I can’t believe how much Costco is charging for their Parmesan Cheese crisps!
I’ve always cooked mine on the stove top but this is so much more practical!
More efficient too!
Thanks!
