Keto Cheese Chips Ingredients
To make these crispy keto cheese chips, you’ll need just two simple ingredients:

That’s it! You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella cheese or parmesan cheese, to create unique flavor combinations.
How To Make Keto Cheese Chips
Making these low-carb cheese crisps is incredibly easy. Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F.
- Cut the cheese slices into quarters and arrange them on a lined baking sheet. Ensure they have enough space as they will spread during baking.
- (Optional) Sprinkle the cheese slices with your favorite seasoning. We recommend paprika for a hint of smokiness, but you can use garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasoning you like.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cheese chips cool on a paper towel for 2 minutes to absorb any excess oil.
- Enjoy your homemade cheese crisps on their own or with your favorite dip.
Not only are these low-carb cheese chips easy to make, but they’re also about twenty times cheaper than buying packaged cheese chips equivalent.

Tips for the Best Keto Cheese Chips
- Even Cooking: For evenly cooked cheese crisps, ensure your oven is properly preheated and your cheese slices are similar in size.
- Preventing Burning: Your cheese chips can burn quickly if you don’t watch them closely while they bake. If you notice the edges browning too quickly, remove them from the oven sooner.
- Storage: Store leftover keto cheese chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
