Tips for making the best keto cheese pickle chips:
- Use any kind of cheese you’d like. I used cheddar and Colby Jack. Pepperjack, mozzarella, Swiss, or a sharp white cheddar would all be amazing, too! I shredded my cheese by hand as I think it melts better this way.
- Make sure you get dill pickles and check the label for any added sugar. Companies get sneaky with those hidden carbs.
- I used 2 tablespoons of cheese below and on top of the pickles. If you want a thinner chip, use 1 tablespoon for each layer instead. The cooking time will be shorter if you use less cheese.
- You can add 1 or 2 pickles to these chips. I use one pickle per chip and it had plenty of pickle taste. I thought about patting the pickles dry before adding them to the muffin tin, but I think that would have taken away from the pickle flavor. You get a little bit of dill pickle juice this way!
- If you notice a lot of oil from the cheese, pat it out with a paper towel about 5 minutes before the chips are done.
- The longer you bake the chips, the crispier they will get.
Keto cheese pickle chips are so crave-worthy. 🧀 🥒

I’ve made these before and dipped them in ranch they were absolute 🔥
YUM! Thanks for letting us know how you enjoyed them, Audrey! 🙌😋
I used great value cheese it was so greasy. Need to use a good melting cheese.
Oh darn! Thanks for the heads up on how that cheese worked for you, Cindy.❤️ Hoping you enjoy it more with a different brand of cheese. 🙌💖
Mine didn’t seem to get as crispy as yours looked but they still tasted great! I used Tillamook cheddar jack cheese.
SO glad you enjoyed them, Natasha! 🙌😋 You could bake them a bit longer next time if you’d like them crispier. Let us know how that works for you! ❤️
Every time I try to make these pickle chips in the oven I always end up destroying a pan. I don’t get any pickle chips just hard concrete cheese. The cheese sticks to the pan so badly Even using cooking spray. I end up having to throw a pan away and still not get to have pickle chips. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I follow directions in the recipes. Be on a cookie sheet or a muffin tan, but they never turn out.
SO sorry for the issues with these, Caril. I wonder if it may be the type of cheese you are using? You could also try cooking for less time or at a lower temperature. A similar version of these can be made in a mini waffle maker if that might work better for you too! ❤️🤗 https://hip2keto.com/recipes/keto-cheese-waffles/ Hoping these suggestions are helpful! 💕
OH GOODNESS! Thought this would be a great lil’ snack as we weren’t hungry enough for dinner! Used spiced pickle slices ! WOW! More than satisfying! Following. We are a bit scared to adapt keto fully. Afraid if we do something wrong, it’s a disaster with weight and cardiac issues…🙏
Yum! Great idea to substitute spiced pickle slices in this recipe, Skeeter! 😋 Thanks for letting us know this was a hit!
