More helpful tips for you.
- Your cheese should be shredded for this recipe. It should also be fresh cheese rather than a 'cheese product'.
- While the cheese crisps will turn brown from baking in the oven, they will still need to set when you take them out. Simple allow the crisps to stay on the pan for about ten minutes after taking them out of the oven.
- These cheese crisps can also be used to accent other recipes. Crumble some on top of your salad or mix them with your popcorn for extra flavor.
How to store crispy cheese snacks.
I like to store my crispy cheese in an air tight zip top bag at room temperature where they usually stay fresh for about a week. However, you can also freeze them for longer.

How to make oven baked cheese even better.
The flavor of the cheese that you use is the best way to make these crisps taste good.
Also, combining different kinds of cheese and adding accent ingredients can really make these crisps taste good.

Ingredients needed to make Crispy Baked Cheese Chips
- Cheese. The cheese should be a hard or semi hard cheese that has been shredded. Total cheese should be about two cups.
- Seasonings. One to two teaspoons total. Most cheese is pretty salty so you can probably skip the salt and stick to the other varieties of seasonings (such as taco, Italian, or garlic seasonings).
- Other add-ons. My crisps were made with chopped sundried tomatoes for example.
How to make Crispy Baked Cheese Chips.
Yields 25 chips
Prep Time active time 10 minutes | baking time 5 minutes
- Preheat your oven to 375. Prep two rimmed baking sheets well for nonstick. I like to use foil or parchment paper that is also sprayed with nonstick for example ( a silicon mat as well).
- Place the cheese in a medium sized bowl. If you are using more than one kind of cheese, gently mix or toss them together in a bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and toss the ingredients.
- Use a tablespoon or scoop to distribute the the mixture to the baking sheets, leaving space between each scoop. The cheese should be about two layers tall at most.
- Bake the crisps for five to eight minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. The center may be bubbly at this point but, they should harden fully when cooled to room temperature.
- Allow the crisps to fully cool before removing them from the pan.
Expert Tip 👉 For best results, your piles of cheese should be about two inches wide and about an inch away from one another. Also, keep in mind the baking time can vary depending on the kind of cheese you are using.
