Ingredients
- Shredded cheese of your choice cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, etc.
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
Prepare the Cheese:
- Line the air fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This prevents the cheese from sticking to the basket.
- Place small piles of shredded cheese (about 1 tablespoon each) on the parchment paper, leaving space between each pile. You can make as many as you'd like.
Air Fry:
- Place the cheese-filled parchment paper in the preheated air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 4-6 minutes, depending on your desired level of crispiness.
- Keep an eye on them, as they can go from golden brown to burnt quickly.
Check for Crispiness:
- When the cheese crisps are golden brown and the edges are crispy, they are done.
- If they are not crispy enough, you can air fry for another minute or so.
Cool and Serve:
- Remove the cheese crisps from the air fryer basket and let them cool for a few minutes.
- They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Enjoy!
- Once cooled and crispy, these cheese crisps are ready to be enjoyed.
- Serve them as a standalone snack, a crunchy topping for salads, soups, or even as a low-carb alternative to crackers.
Notes
Tips:
- Cheese Varieties: Experiment with different types of shredded cheese for variety in flavor and texture.
- Seasonings: Add a sprinkle of your favorite seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs before air frying for extra flavor.
- Shape Variation: Instead of piles, you can also shape the cheese into circles or squares for uniform crisps.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. They may lose some crispiness but can be re-crisped in the air fryer for a few minutes.
