Don’t ever let anyone tell you that keto is boring!
One of the main arguments against keto is that it’s too restrictive and difficult to maintain long term. Hello!? Have you browsed all of our recipes? How can you ever get bored with the keto diet when you have hundreds of recipes and foods to choose from!
These cheese pickle chips are a great way to add some variety to your keto diet in the simplest form.
Easy keto snacks are the best keto snacks.
Let me tell you, it doesn’t get any easier than melting together shredded cheese and pickles! This is one of those recipes where I think, “how did I not come up with this myself?” We found this recipe for cheese pickle chips by Aly McDaniel on Instagram and knew we had to do a post to share.
Tips for making the best 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.
