Keto Garlic Cheese Crisps

May 24, 2026 by HealthyDiet RecipeWorld

Ingredients

1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
1 large Egg
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (finely chopped) or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
A pinch of black pepper

Instructions

Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat so the cheese doesn’t stick.
Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, garlic powder, parsley, and black pepper. Stir them together. Add the egg and mix thoroughly until a thick, uniform batter forms.
Form the Crisps: Scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one. Use the back of a spoon to gently flatten each mound into a round disc shape.
Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Watch them closely—they are done when the centers are fully melted and bubbling, and the edges turn a beautiful, deep golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven. Let the crisps sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. They will feel soft at first but will become wonderfully crispy as they cool down. Transfer to a plate and enjoy!

Tip: Serve these as a standalone snack, or use them as a crunchy, low-carb dipping chip for marinara sauce!
