Storage and Crispness Tips

  • Cool completely before storing.
  • Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days.
  • Add a dry paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
  • Re-crisp at 350 degrees F for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Do not refrigerate unless necessary; condensation can soften the crisps.

Keto Cheese Crisps FAQ

Why are my cheese crisps chewy?

They may need 1 to 2 more minutes in the oven or more cooling time. Remove them when the edges are deeply golden.

Can I use pre-shredded cheese?

Yes, but freshly grated cheese usually melts more evenly because it has less anti-caking powder.
