Crispy Everything Bagel Keto Cheese Crisps
Let's be honest, the hardest part of the ketogenic diet isn't giving up sugar; it's giving up the crunch. We all miss that satisfying sound of biting into a salty chip while watching a movie or needing a midday pick-me-up. Store-bought keto snacks can be outrageously expensive and filled with questionable fillers, but these homemade Everything Bagel Keto Cheese Crisps are the perfect solution. They require only two ingredients and deliver a massive punch of flavor. Rich in calcium and healthy fats, these crisps utilize the natural oils in cheddar and parmesan to crisp up perfectly in the oven without burning. The 'Everything But The Bagel' seasoning adds that classic savory profile of garlic, onion, sesame, and poppy seeds that we all adore. Whether you use them as a vehicle for guacamole, dip them in cream cheese, or just eat them straight off the baking sheet, these crisps are the ultimate low-carb hack for savory cravings.
The Masterplan
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Do not use foil, or the cheese will stick.
Slice your cheddar cheese into quarters to make bite-sized squares, or leave them whole for larger 'taco shell' style crisps.
Arrange the cheddar cheese squares on the parchment paper, leaving at least 1 inch of space between them as they will spread significantly.
Sprinkle a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese over each cheddar square. This adds a sharper flavor and helps with the texture.
Generously sprinkle the Everything Bagel Seasoning over the center of each cheese mound.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 9 minutes. Watch closely! You want the edges to be golden brown and the center to look bubbly and lacy, but not burnt.
Remove from the oven. The cheese will still be soft and oily—this is normal. Let them cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 to 10 minutes. As they cool, they will harden into a perfect crisp.
Once completely cooled and crunchy, blot any excess oil with a paper towel if desired and serve immediately.
