Skip the expensive Keto snacks and Make your own Keto Cheese Crisps with this surprising and simple recipe hack!
One of the best things about my husband following a Ketogenic diet is having baked Keto Cheese Crisps in the house. Unfortunately, while cheese crisps are delicious, the store bought kind are not exactly budget friendly and not always that easy to find.
I was skeptical about making homemade Keto Cheese Crisps but when I stumbled across this recipe I just had to try it. I was thrilled when I was successful in creating them at home.
The texture is a little different than the store bought kind but making these Keto Cheese Crisps is crazy easy and the result is a really delicious (and slightly addictive) keto friendly snack!

About The Cheese Slices
This recipe uses Sargento Ultra Thin cheese slices. They are cut REALLY thin so they bake up thin and become crispy in a shorter period of time. Thicker sandwich slices (normal cheese slices) can be used to make these Ketc Cheese Crisps but the bake time may need to be extended (some readers have baked for 60 minutes) to allow the moisture to be released from the cheese.
How to Make Keto Cheese Crisps
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and line one or two large baking sheets with nonstick parchment paper, depending on how large of a batch you are making.
Nonstick parchment is a very important part of this recipe. The nonstick parchment will allow the crisps the crisps to remove nicely after baking. In addition, it wicks away some of the oil that is released during the process and cleanup is a breeze.
There are 20 slices in the package and one half of the package fills one half sheet baking pan. Remove the paper between the slices and stack in an even pile. Cut the stack of slices into four pieces.
One slice at a time, lay them flat on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. While they don’t have to be very far apart, make sure that they are not touching.
Make sure that the baking rack is placed in the middle position of the preheated oven. Place the baking pan into the oven and bake for 35 minutes at 250 degrees F.
*Since I wasn’t really that sure that the recipe was going to work, I kept looking in the oven to see what was actually happening. It’s better if you don’t do this but they still turned out good. My family’s only complaint is that they aren’t as thick as Whisps.
After 35 minutes in the oven, remove and allow to cool on the baking sheet.
There is a lot of oil released when these bake so after they are cooled you may want to set them onto a paper towel to absorb the excess before serving.
They may take 12-24 hours to become the right degree of crispiness, so leave them exposed to room air until that happens and then store in a zip top bag. Enjoy!

Consuming too much cheese on a keto diet can lead to an excessive intake of saturated fat and calories, which may hinder weight loss efforts. It's essential to maintain balance and moderation in food choices to achieve optimal results.
And as we already know, the keto diet focuses on high fat, low carb foods, so you should avoid low-fat cheese varieties. If your goal is to gain energy with fat through ketosis, stick to full-fat cheese like cheddar and gouda.
You can eat high fat foods like cheese on the Keto diet. Cheddar, Gouda, goat cheese, and blue cheese are the best to consider. Cheese to avoid on Keto are cottage cheese and low fat and processed varieties.
Who doesn't love chips? (Or crisps, if you're from the other side of the pond.) They're crunchy, salty, satisfying, and easy to eat on the go. Unfortunately, though, most chip options are a no-go on a low-carb diet like keto.
Not watching your carb intake - Sugar and refined carbs are in many foods. You should be aiming to eliminate these from your keto diet. “Try to keep your net carb content under 20 grams/day or total carbs under 30 grams,” Dr Riggs says. Keep close track of your sugar and carb intake by reading nutrition labels.
You should avoid cheat meals and days on the keto diet. Consuming too many carbs can kick your body out of ketosis — and it takes several days to 1 week to get back into it. In the meantime, your weight loss may be disrupted.
Regular, full fat sour cream is made from cream and contains far more fat than carbs. Therefore, it's considered keto-friendly. However, low fat or nonfat sour cream is not. Full fat sour cream can provide some variety in a keto diet when used as a dip base or incorporated into recipes to boost the fat content.
Net carbs are calculated by taking the total grams of carbohydrate in a food and subtracting the amount of fiber. In this case, popcorn contains 6 grams of carbs per 1 cup serving and 1.2 grams of fiber, bringing the net carbs per serving to 4.8 grams. Yes friends, popcorn is indeed a keto food.
Peanut butter can definitely be part of a keto diet, but it's best to stick to plain options that are free of extra flavors and sweeteners. Almond butter is a good choice, too, and it's slightly lower in carbs. Additionally, you should be mindful of your portion size if you're trying to lose weight.
A "serving" of pickles is commonly listed as a cup, which has 2.2 grams of net carbs, so you actually get a lot for a low amount of carbs (applicable to dill and salt pickles). Luckily, pickles are keto friendly, especially those that are of the dill pickle variety, as sugar is low.
Enjoying cheese is one of the pleasures of the keto diet. But that doesn't mean it's unlimited and unrestricted. Nutritionists say that keto practitioners need to be selective with the cheese varieties they consume while on keto and enjoy them only in moderation to avoid disrupting ketosis and hampering weight loss.
Grass-grazed raw butter may be one of the healthiest dairy products on a ketogenic diet menu. Grass-grazed raw butter is basically pure raw fat; it has zero carbs, zero sugars and zero grams of protein. As you can see, most of butters' fat is saturated.
Whisps Cheddar Cheese Crisps are made with aged cheddar cheese to deliver a satisfying cheddary bite. Delivering 10g of protein, 0g of sugar and 1g of carbs per serving, they are a delicious protein-packed snack.
Keto snacks are snacks that fit into the keto diet. This means they have a low percentage of carbs and a moderate amount of protein. These sweet keto snacks are often low in carbs and sugar free. However, some keto snacks do contain too much sugar.
Keto Tortilla Chips are a low carb twist on nacho chips! Made with just 2 ingredients, these crunchy tortilla chips take minutes to make! 2 grams net carbs per serve.
Cheese tends to be low in carbs but high in fat, making it a good choice for keto diets. For example, 100 g of cheddar cheese has 2.44 g of carbs and 34 g of fat.
