Snack: Flavored Keto Cheese Chips

Ingredients

1 1/2 Cup Cheddar Cheese
3 Tbsp. Ground Flaxseed Meal
Seasonings of Your Choice

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425F.
2. Start by forming 2 Tbsp. Cheddar Cheese into small mounds on your non-stick silpat. You want to spread them out a little bit as they will melt and expand as they’re cooking. I like to do them in rounds because it makes the center of the chip more hearty and chewy rather than super crisp like the edges.
3. In a small ramekin, measure out 3 Tbsp. Flaxseed Meal. Use this to distribute the flax evenly among all the chips you’re making.
4. Add the seasonings of your choice to the chips! In this batch we’re making 3 different flavors.
5. The first flavor is paprika and cumin. I have large spice containers for these 2, as I use them a lot. I poured them straight onto the chip and probably used more than I should have. Lesson learned: sprinkle the spices on with your fingers.
6. The second flavor is southwest chipotle and cheddar. I am using Tone’s Southwest Chipotle Seasoning, one that I think is a must-have in every pantry.
7. The third, and last, flavor is a blend of onion powder, garlic powder, chili, celery seed and a few others. Okay, I didn’t put this together myself. I’m using Mrs. Dash Table Blend. I also added some sliced bacon that I had cooked up earlier.
8. Once all the chips are seasoned to your liking, put them in the oven for 10 minutes. They shouldn’t look crisp when you take them out, but you will see little holes forming in the chips where the oil is pooling on the top.
9. Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. They’ll start to get hard and form into the crispy chips we want. If you want to form them into different shapes, you can do that here – but be quick!
10. Transfer the chips to a paper towel to quickly get rid of excess grease.
11. Once finished, transfer them to a platter plate.
12. You can put salsa in the middle and serve as a appetizer or snack.
