Chef’s Tips

• Preheat the Oven: Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking. Start preheating while you prepare the cheese.
• Use Parchment Paper: Even if using a non-stick tray, parchment paper ensures the cheese doesn’t stick or burn and makes cleanup a breeze.
• Cool Completely: Let the chips cool fully on the tray before removing them to avoid breaking or losing their crunch.
• Slice Alternative: No shredded cheese? Use cheese slices instead, cutting them into quarters for perfect portions.

Ingredients

• Cheddar Cheese (Shredded): Any shredded cheese works, but cheddar gives a great flavor and texture.
• Garlic Powder: Adds a delicious savory kick.

Substitutions

• Replace garlic powder with paprika for a smoky flavor or Italian seasoning for an herby touch.
• Try parmesan cheese instead of cheddar for an extra crispy chip.

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Shape the Cheese: Add small spoonfuls of shredded cheese onto the parchment, forming rounds about 1–1½ inches in diameter.
4. Add Garlic: Lightly sprinkle garlic powder over each cheese mound.
5. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
6. Cool: Remove the baking sheet and let the chips cool completely on a cooling rack.
7. Store: Transfer cooled chips to an airtight bag or jar. Store at room temperature for up to one week.

Storage

• Room Temperature: Store in a sealed container for up to a week.
• Refrigeration: For longer storage, refrigerate the chips in an airtight container. Re-crisp them in the oven for 2–3 minutes if needed.

FAQs

• Can I freeze the chips? Freezing is not recommended as it may compromise their crispiness.
• What other cheeses can I use? Parmesan, mozzarella, or Colby Jack are excellent alternatives.
• Can I make these in the microwave? Yes! Use parchment paper on a microwave-safe plate and cook for 1–2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
