Keto Cheese Crackers
Description
Keto Cheese Crackers are prepared by placing four mounds of shredded cheddar cheese spaced apart on parchment paper and microwaving them until they become lacy, lightly browned, and crisp. The crackers are allowed to cool slightly before peeling off the parchment. Excess oil is blotted away to enhance crispness and texture.
The method requires adjusting the microwave time to achieve the preferred crispness since microwave power varies. The crackers develop a delicate, crisp texture primarily from the melted cheese, requiring no additional ingredients or dough preparation.
These crackers function well as a snack on their own or served alongside dips like guacamole, salsa, or yogurt-based sauces. Storing them airtight helps retain crispness, though they are best enjoyed freshly made as they lose crispness over time. Refrigeration extends their freshness for a few days.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Place four mounds of cheese on parchment (not wax) paper. Slightly flatten. Make sure they are 1-2 inches apart.
- Place the parchment paper directly on the microwave glass tray.
- Microwave the pieces on high for 1:30- 2 minutes until lacy and lightly browned. In my microwave, this takes 1:30 minutes.
- Allow the crackers to cool for a few seconds, then peel them off the parchment.
- Blot the excess oil with a paper towel and serve alone or with a dip such as guacamole, salsa, or Greek yogurt dip.
Notes
- Microwave times vary, so start with 1:30 for four crackers and increase by 30 seconds if they are not crisp enough.
- You may use either shredded cheese or cut a 1-ounce block of cheddar into four squares—the texture outcome is similar.
- Store completely cooled crackers in an airtight container; they will keep on the counter for a few hours or in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Keto crackers are best eaten fresh as they tend to lose their crispness over time.
