Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Start by cutting your choice of aged cheese into ½-inch cubes. Lay the cubes in a single layer on a paper towel-lined plate or tray. Cover them with another paper towel to absorb moisture and place them in the refrigerator. Leave these cheese cubes to dry for 2-3 days.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • After the cheese has dried sufficiently, remove the paper towels and carefully transfer the cubes to your prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden.
  • Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cheese puffs cool for 5-10 minutes on the sheet to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Your Keto Cheese Popcorn is ready to be served! Enjoy them alone or with your favorite keto-friendly dips. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1-2 days.

Notes

Use aged cheeses for best results; they yield a crispier texture and full flavor. Watch closely while baking to avoid burning.
