Ingredients for Keto Pickle Chips
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 24 dill pickle slices (hamburger-style dill chips)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
How to Make Keto Pickle Chips
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheese Mixture
In a bowl, combine the shredded Monterey Jack and grated Parmesan cheeses.
Step 3: Assemble the Pickle Chips
Place a small amount of the cheese mixture into each mini muffin cup or onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small mounds. Press a dill pickle slice onto each cheese mound. Top each pickle slice with an additional layer of the cheese mixture, ensuring the pickle is fully covered.
Step 4: Season the Chips
In a small bowl, mix together the onion powder, black pepper, and kosher salt. Sprinkle this seasoning blend evenly over the top of each cheese-covered pickle.
Step 5: Bake the Pickle Chips
Place the muffin tin or baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and has turned golden brown.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and allow the pickle chips to rest for 1-2 minutes. Gently pat both sides of each chip with paper towels to remove excess grease. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or spicy mayo. Enjoy!
