2 Ingredient Keto Cheese Chips
These keto cheese chips combine crushed pork rind with shredded cheddar cheese, baked under a grill until golden and crispy. The result is a crunchy, satisfying snack that highlights the savory punch of pork rind paired with melty cheese. They are a low-carb option that cooks quickly and can be stored at room temperature or frozen for later use.
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.
