Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cheddar cheese thin sliced
  • Garlic powder or garlic salt optional
  • Everything bagel seasoning optional
  • Onion powder optional
  • A small dab of hot sauce optional
  • Smoked paprika optional
  • Italian seasoning optional

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Air fryer (optional)

Method
 

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

Notes

Use parchment paper only: cheese will stick to wax paper, foil, or a plain baking sheet.
Watch closely your first time: cooking time varies depending on cheese thickness, type, and your oven. Check at 12 minutes.
Uneven crisping? If outer pieces are done before inner ones, remove the finished crisps and return the rest to the oven for a few more minutes.
Cheese melting together? Don't worry, if slices melt into each other, simply cut them into squares with a pizza cutter or sharp knife once cooled.
Let them set: allow 5-10 minutes before removing from the pan. They firm up significantly as they cool.
