These easy-baked cheese crisps are the perfect snack to satisfy your food cravings in just 10 minutes flat. They are super easy to make, customizable, inexpensive, and great for snacking.
Line a baking sheet (or two) with parchment paper sheets.
Using a measuring spoon, drop 1 tablespoon piles of cheddar cheese about 2 inches apart (the cheese will spread so don't put them too close) on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle garlic powder on each, just a pinch.
Bake for 5-8 minutes (may vary, keep a close eye on them).
Remove from oven and lift parchment paper and place on cooling racks.
Dab tops of crisps with a paper towel to remove some of the excess grease (this is optional but if you don't do it, your crisps may be soggy - still yummy, but soggy - if you didn't cook them long enough).
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
Recipe Notes
Remove excess grease:This step is essential if you want your cheese snacks to be crispy rather than limp, cold cheese. Remove the grease while they're cooling to keep them nice and crispy.Cooking time:Keep your eye on the cheese crisps as they melt and turn golden brown quickly. As soon as they turn golden brown, they're ready to take out.Use parchment paper:Don't skip this step. Although cheese is naturally oily, the cheese will stick to the baking sheet without placing parchment paper in the baking sheet. Parchment paper and parchment paper alone is the best thing to use to bake the cheese crisps - and they slide off it once cooled.Make small mounds of cheese.:The cheese will melt more than you think during baking, so be sure to place equal small mounds of cheese on the baking sheet.
