Chips
Having varieties of chips in our lifestyle is one of our main struggles. Chips that fit our macros are either hard to find or so expensive, even at Costco.
But the best part – you can make your own. Whether you pick cheese, vegetables, protein, or mix them all, you can make an unbelievable selection of keto-friendly chips. And they can always be ready in your pantry for whenever you crave them.
What Chips are Keto Friendly?
If you have been following our blog for a while, you may have seen that I have already experimented with various ways to make crunchy keto snacks in our lifestyle.
Our most popular are, of course, keto zucchini chips with smoked paprika chips, wild garlic chips, and cucumber chips to stay within the vegetable zone.
Then we have some snacks you can mix up using just a few ingredients, such as Tortilla Chips or Cloud Egg Crisps.
Cheese Chips
You probably agree that cheese chips are among the most popular. And therefore, I have already made heaps of recipes for you.
Starting from the best Keto Popcorn – Low Carb Cheese Pops or transferring cheddar cheese into Keto Goldfish Crackers for the best popping experience in your oven.
We have it all. Followed by Keto Cheese Bacon Nachos, Fried Cheese Balls, Chaffle Chips, Cheese Puffs, or Keto Cheese Bacon Chips.
And all I can say is I am still just starting. As I can already see, in a few years, we will have so many choices of keto crunchy snacks you would not be able to bake them all.
Would you believe this is the easiest way to make homemade Keto Cheese Chips?
Type of Cheese
The type of cheese you pick is up to you. Different sliced cheese varieties exist, and all of them will become perfectly crunchy and delicious.
What type of cheese is best to use
You can pick from different cheeses for chips, such as
- Cheddar Cheese Chips
- Mozzarella
- Pepper Jack
- Provolone
- American
- Baby Swiss
- Colby
- Swiss Cheese
What type of Cheese slices to use for Keto Chips?
You can use almost any cheese slices you find in the supermarket. I have tried it already with Emmental Cheese, Gouda, and Cheddar. They all came out perfectly.
The only difference might be in the taste and baking time, as some cheeses could be thicker or thinner and might take a bit longer to crisp up.
Just try to avoid cheese that is spreadable, because that would not crisp in a short time.
Flavor Variations
As I have already baked those quite a few times, I have experimented with almost anything.
I gave it all to my family and friends to taste, and pickles and olive won.
- Pickles or Gherkins give that additional sourness and a bit of spiciness if you use spicy ones.
- Olives, while this was my daughter’s favorite. And I also loved the color of the Keto Chips with Olives.
What to add to the Keto Cheese Chips slices?
Apart from our variation of gherkins and olives, you can customize your keto cheese crisps by adding so much more:
Toppings and condiments for Cheese Chips:
- Nuts
- Jalapenos
- Sunflower seeds
- All types of seeds
- Tomatoes
- Walnuts
- Spices
- Bacon
- Fresh herbs
- Taco Seasoning
- Garlic slices
- Pepperoni slices
- Onion
- Lime Zest
- Meat in small pieces
- Everything Bagel Seasoning
- Veggies pre-cut into small
- Salami

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What can you serve with keto cheese chips?
Dipping Sauces:
- Marinara Sauce
- Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Salsa
- Guacamole Dip with Sour Cream
- Bolognese Sauce
- Ranch Dressing
- Green Goddess Vegan Dressing
- Creamy Salsa Dressing
Can you make Cheese Chips in the Microwave?
You certainly can, even though this is not the healthiest option. Also, once you make cheese slices in the microwave, they can become either soggy or rock hard. So if you choose this option, watch it closely.
Can you make keto chips in the air fryer?
An air fryer is another option. Follow your air fryer’s instructions and cook them until crisp.
How to store Cheese Crisps?
Like all the cheesy chips, I store them in an airtight container. It is good to line the container with tissue to take the moisture out while stored.
If they get soggy after a while, pop them in the oven for a few minutes on low heat to crisp them again.
Do Keto Cheese Chips need to be refrigerated?
If you make plain cheese chips with only dry seasonings, you don’t need to refrigerate them. Store them in your airtight container for a week.
But if you add a fresh condiment, like pickles or olives, as in our case, I’d definitely refrigerate them to keep your toppings from spoiling.
How long can you store Cheese Chips?
Those cheese chips do last a pretty long time. 1-2 weeks should be fine. But depending on what condiments you use and how dry they become after baking. If you like some condiments a bit soft, I would try to consume them as soon as possible.
Can you reheat Cheese Chips?
You can reheat your crisps, which is precisely what I suggest, especially when cheese chips become a bit soggy.
Otherwise, I don’t see any reason to reheat those keto cheese chips. They are typically eaten cold and already crisp.
What if Cheese Chips become soggy?
Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for 10–15 minutes at a low temperature. This will dry them out and remove all the moisture. They will again become perfectly crispy.
Can you freeze cheese Chips?
You can freeze your cheese chips, although they taste the best fresh. Since they’re quick and easy to prepare, you can make them anytime you want in just a few minutes.
