Crispy Cheese Chips
Description
The recipe starts with portioning shredded mozzarella cheese into small flattened mounds on parchment paper, seasoning them with garlic powder, dried oregano, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to add flavor and mild heat. Baking at 375°F allows the cheese to melt, bubble, and crisp, especially on the edges, creating a texture that combines crunchy and tender elements.
The finished cheese chips are ideal for eating on their own as a snack or used as a crunchy garnish for salads or soups. They deliver the salty richness of mozzarella infused with herbal and spicy notes from the seasoning.
It's best to consume these chips shortly after baking because they lose their crispness as they cool further. Preparing small batches ensures optimal freshness and crisp texture each time. Leftover shredded cheese can be frozen for future use.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup mozzarella cheese 3 ounces, shredded part-skim
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon oregano dried
- Pinch red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the shredded cheese into six fairly equal mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Gently flatten them with your hands.
- Evenly sprinkle the cheese mounds with garlic powder, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
- Bake until the edges are browned, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Let the chips cool and crisp up, still on the cookie sheet, for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Bake the cheese chips until edges are deep brown for maximum crispiness, starting to check after 10-12 minutes.
- Make only as many chips as you plan to eat immediately, as they lose crispness quickly.
- Extra shredded cheese freezes well and can be used directly from the freezer in other recipes.
