What do I do to make it as easy as possible?
I spread the entire mixture of cheese bacon nachos onto some parchment paper and then baked it. After it had been baked, I used scissors to cut the mixture into even strips.
And then each stripe into Zick-Zack shapes. Back to the oven to get more crunchiness and there it is. I guess, you can not really get it easier than this. Not my idea, I have to admit. I saw it ages ago somewhere on the net.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON MAKING THE CRUNCHIEST CHEESE BACON NACHO CHIPS
First Step: Ingredients For Nachos Chips
Prepare all of your ingredients.
The Emmental cheese and the Cheddar cheese should both be shredded just before baking.
You should avoid buying cheese that has already been shaved since it always contains some sort of starch in order to keep the pieces from sticking together.
Heat up the oven at the same time.
Second Step: Cheese Base
Begin by placing the Emmental cheese on the baking sheet, which is lined with parchment paper.
Spread it evenly as one layer to cover the whole sheet.
Third Step: Bacon Bits
Sprinkle the bacon bits evenly over the first layer of cheese.
Fourth Step: Add Cheddar Cheese and Bake
Once your bacon is sprinkled, cover the whole baking sheet with cheddar cheese.
Bake for about 9 minutes.
Fifth Step: Cut baked sheet into stripes
Once baked, let the sheet of Nachos cool for a few minutes, just so it is warm to the touch.
Using your scissors, cut the sheets into the same size long stripes.
Check our video for the exact explanation.
Sixth Step: Cut Each Stripe into triangles
Once you have your stripes, use your scissors again to cut each stripe into triangles. Please check our video for better understanding.
Seventh Step: Bake again
Place each of the triangles onto the baking sheet covered with the new parchment paper.
Bake in the oven and broil for 1 to 2 minutes to make your keto nacho chips fully crunchy.
Tips and Tricks
- Type of Cheese – I have used Emmental cheese and Cheddar Cheese, but it is really up to you. Just make sure it is a hard cheese.
- Shredded Cheese – always buy a whole block of cheese and shred it yourself. Every shredded cheese from the supermarket contains some kind of starch to keep the cheese separate.
- Twice baking – I have realized that twice baking will make those keto nachos chips super crunchy. The crunchiness lasts a long time, too, when stored in an airtight container.
- Skillet – If you don’t have a baking sheet, you can do the exact same steps in a Skillet.

Never have heard of the emantel cheese what kind is it and can you use any other kind and also your measurements are in grams I believe with no conversions
Dear Mary,
Here is a link to Emmental cheese how it looks like. I am sure they do have it in the shops. But in general, you can use any hard cheese for this recipe. Depending on your taste. But it needs to be hard. Not Mozareella etc. because it will not crisp.
Have a nice day
Zuzana
I tried to print the recipe and it goes to a page saying “Forbidden, You do not have permissions”??
Dear Roye,
Thanks a lot for letting me know. It is hard to keep track of all the changes. I am already working on finding the problem and will hopefully be running it smoothly in no time.
These look delicious!!
Thanks, Karly
It is really easy to make and so delicious
Zuzana
I have a question. Should we cook the bacon first or will it cook with the cheese?
Dear Jacky,
No need to cook it in advance. The bacon will cook or bake while all the cheese melts.
Happy baking.
Zuzana

Is the bacon cooked before adding to the cheese? Your comment said no, but in the video it appears to be cooked………………thank you
Dear Sue,
Sorry to write you a year later 🙂 Happy New Year by the was.
No, I have not cooked the bacon beforehand. It really is enough it gets baked in the oven. So really no need at all.
Have a great day and enjoy the Nachos.
These were great! Thanks for an easy delicious recipe… although I could basically eat them all in one sitting ?I wound up using some crumbled bacon from Costco (or maybe Sam’s Club…it’s a huge bag) and it worked great.
Dear Lisa,
I am so happy you have found them perfect. We are on the same boat. Once made, cannot stop eating them until they are all gone.
Have a great day
Zuzana
Trying this for dinner tonight? What did you add to your youghurt dip please? Looks so much more inviting than just plain yoghurt.
Dear Samantha,
I have just added a bit of avocado and mixed it together with yogurt. And yes, it is a bit tastier.
Have a great dinner
Zuzana
Did not have parchment paper so used wax paper instead….would not peel off the cheese. A little disappointed. FYI for future.
Dear MaryAnn,
I am so sorry it got stuck with wax paper. But at least we all know for the future to never use it.
Have a great day
Zuzana

What is a “hard cheese”?
Dear Tricia,
Various selections like for example Cheddar, Gouda, Pecorino, Emmental, Edam, Swiss Cheese. They all work for this recipe
What is you recommended method for storing these? I just made a batch and they came out amazing but they are for tomorrow.
I always keep them in an Airtight container. They do stay crispy for weeks
I was wondering if we can use sliced cheese inStead of grated?
You sure can Lorraine. But I would still slice it with a knife to achieve this exact effect. Otherwise, it is a different recipe. But still good. I have those as well in Oven Baked Keto Cheese Chips.
Just tried these Keto Cheese Bacon Nachos Chips yesterday and WOW! So easy to make and insanely delicious. They totally satisfied my cheesy craving. Thank you.
So glad you liked it.
