Brief Introduction
I’ve been making cheese crisps for years, but swapping cheddar for provolone was a total game-changer. Provolone bakes up light, crunchy, and perfectly crisp — no chewy texture! Sprinkle on Everything Bagel Seasoning, and you’ve got the ultimate keto-friendly snack.
Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
Step 1 – Prep & Arrange
Line your baking sheet with parchment. Arrange cheese slices with space in between.
Step 2 – Season
Sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning (as much or as little as you like).
Step 3 – Bake
Bake until cheese is golden and bubbling. Watch closely — they crisp quickly.
Step 4 – Cool
Let cool completely before moving. This is when they harden into perfect chips.
Ingredient Details & Substitution Tips
Cheese: Provolone gives the best crunch. Other great options: Parmesan (extra crispy), mozzarella (lighter flavor), or pepper jack (spicy kick).
Seasoning: Everything Bagel Seasoning is classic, but try garlic powder, Italian herbs, or smoked paprika.
Optional toppings: Add sesame seeds, chili flakes, or even a light sprinkle of Parmesan on top.
Variations & Serving Suggestions
Dips: Serve with guacamole, ranch, or marinara.
Sandwich “Crackers”: Use two crisps to sandwich pepperoni, salami, or ham.
Spicy Twist: Add cayenne or chili powder before baking.
Party Platter: Make a variety using different cheeses and seasonings.
Storage & Make-Ahead Info
Room Temperature: Keep on a plate or tray, uncovered, for 2–3 days (they stay crisp!).
Refrigeration: Not recommended (adds moisture, softens them).
Freezing: Not ideal — they lose crunch.
Make-Ahead: Perfect for prepping before a party or quick snacks during the week.

FAQs
Q: Can I use shredded cheese instead of slices?
A: Yes, but spread it into even circles for consistent shape.
Q: Why did mine turn chewy?
A: They may need a bit more bake time, or you used a cheese with higher moisture (like cheddar).
Q: Can I use wax paper instead of parchment?
A: No! Wax paper will melt and stick. Always use parchment.
Q: How do I keep them crispy?
A: Store uncovered at room temp — covering traps moisture.
Personal Note
These crisps are a snack I didn’t know I needed until I tried them with provolone. They’re so simple but so addictive, I often end up eating the whole batch while they’re still cooling.
