Low Carb Cheese Crackers
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and make sure the oven rack is in the center position.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cheese from sticking. Do not use wax paper, foil, or an unlined baking sheet.
- Lay the cheese slices flat on the parchment paper, spacing them apart to prevent them from melting together.
- Sprinkle on your seasoning of choice, or leave plain, they're delicious either way.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes, checking after 12 minutes. The crisps should be golden and beginning to darken slightly at the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. They will continue to harden as they cool.
- Line the bottom of the air fryer basket with parchment paper.
- Spread cheese slices out so they don't overlap.
- Air fry at 320°F for 10 minutes until crispy.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before removing.

Why We Love This Recipe
Conventional crackers and chips are among the most blood-sugar-disruptive snack foods available — loaded with refined carbohydrates, inflammatory vegetable oils, and artificial additives. Cheese crisps flip that entirely.
- Nearly zero net carbs — an ideal snack for anyone managing blood sugar, following a ketogenic or low-carb diet, or working on insulin sensitivity
- High in protein — protein supports satiety, muscle maintenance, and stable blood sugar between meals
- Naturally grain-free and gluten-free — suitable for anyone with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or autoimmune conditions where gluten is a trigger
- No inflammatory ingredients — no refined oils, no added sugars, no artificial preservatives
- Calcium-rich — supports bone density and muscle function
For patients working on blood sugar regulation, weight management, or simply trying to reduce processed food consumption, this is one of the easiest and most satisfying swaps you can make.
