1(8 oz) packagecheddar cheese slices, I used mild cheddar
2-3tbspnacho cheese seasoning, or seasoning of your choice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide each cheese slice into four triangles. First, slice the cheese in half diagonally. Then slice in half again diagonally. See photo in post for reference.
Arrange cheese triangles on prepared baking sheet, spacing them one inch apart. The cheese will puff up during baking so make sure they are not too close together.
Place into oven to bake. When the chips are baking, the cheese will puff up and bubble. Bake for about 50 minutes or until edges are firm and slightly browned and tops of the bubbled surface is firm. It’s okay if the flat parts of the triangles (the sections that didn’t bubble) are not yet firm.
Remove baking tray briefly so that you can flip all of the chips. Place them back into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the chips turn slightly brown and the tops are firm. Remove chips from oven and let them cool fully. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. The chips may be a little oily and if desired, you can lightly blot the tops with a paper towel to remove excess oil.
When chips are fully cooled, add 1 heaping tbsp of seasoning to a plastic bag. Add about 1/3 of the chips and seal the bag. Shake the bag until chips are covered in seasoning. Remove and repeat with remaining chips and seasoning.
Notes
I recommend using pre-sliced cheese so that all your chips are the same thickness. However, of course, you can slice your own cheese. Just try your best to keep them all the same thickness. The cheese package I used contained 10 slices. I've seen some brands that contain 11 slices, so your baking time may vary depending on how thick your cheese slices are.
If your cheese chips don't completely crisp up after they are cooled, you can always bake them longer until they are completely crispy.
I used this nacho cheese seasoning.* If you are looking for a healthier and lower sodium seasoning, there are other brands of nacho cheese seasoning that are low sodium. You can also dust with a dry herb seasoning blend like cajun seasoning.
