2 Ingredient Keto Cheese Chips
Description
The 2 Ingredient Keto Cheese Chips recipe uses crushed pork rind and shredded cheddar cheese shaped into small flattened discs and cooked under a grill or broiler. The pork rind imparts a crunchy texture while the cheese melts and browns, creating a crispy yet slightly tender chip. Cooking under high heat briefly browns and firms the chips, but they are soft when hot and need to cool to crisp up fully. They can be crisped again by reheating briefly. These chips are filling, and the recipe yields about 20 chips, with an option to make smaller ones for more pieces.
The simplicity of using just two main ingredients keeps this recipe focused and easy to prepare, relying on the natural texture of pork rinds and the melting behavior of cheddar cheese to create a snack or appetizer suitable for those on keto or low-carb diets.
Storing the chips in an airtight container at room temperature helps maintain crispness for up to five days, while refrigeration is discouraged as it softens them. Freezing the chips for up to three months is possible, and reheating them in the oven briefly restores their crisp texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup / 80g pork rind crushed pork scratchings
- 2 cups / 250g cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your grill (aka broiler for my US readers)
- Place pork scratchings into a food processor and blend.
- Add cheese and pulse until combined.
- Roll small balls in your hand and press them down on a baking sheet. Be sure to leave plenty of space in between them as they flatten out. I made 20 (and calculated the nutrition info for 20), but as the chips are very filling, you could also make them a little smaller than shown in the pictures above and get around 30.
- Place under the grill and wait until they are browned - about 2-5 minutes, depending on your oven. Watch them closely and don't leave the kitchen.
- At this stage the chips are VERY soft. Wait until they are cooled down and have firmed up. Then you can either brown them from the other side as well or enjoy straight away :)
Notes
- Choose pork rind brands with minimal additives for cleaner flavor.
- Store chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days to preserve crispness.
- Avoid refrigeration as it causes the chips to soften and lose their crunch.
- Chips can be frozen for up to three months; reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
- Monitor chips closely under the grill to prevent burning since cooking times vary.
