Important Tips

- Letting them cool fully is key to achieving maximum crunch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use shredded cheese instead of sliced?
Yes, but form small mounds and flatten them slightly before baking to ensure even crisping.
Why did my chips turn out chewy instead of crispy?
They may need more baking time, or they didn’t fully cool on the baking sheet before being moved.
How long do cheese chips stay fresh?
They keep well for 1–2 days in a sealed bag, though they’re best enjoyed fresh.
Can I make these in an air fryer?
Absolutely! Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
