GOUDA CRISPY CHIPS

You can leave the slices whole and cut them afterwards or cut them upfront.  I think cutting them upfront is better actually, as you might get some chips crumbling a bit.

These are the cheese slices that I used.

GOUDA CRISPY CHIPS

So easy and a rather addictive snack.  I like them as a snacking chip, but these chips would also be good with my Pineapple Dip:  My Gouda cheese slices (from the equivalent of Costco...called Price Smart here) show 0 g carbs, but even if yours have some carbs, it will be negligible.  Gouda cheese is wonderful for strong bones as it has vitamin K in it.  You can also try other cheeses like Muenster.

Gouda cheese slices

  (each about 0.7 oz/21 g)

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

You can double up this recipe.  You would then need two cookie sheets.  Grease cookie sheets and cover with parchment paper (the parchment will adhere nicely if the cookie sheet is greased).  Cut each slice into 4 pieces or place whole on the parchment paper and cut afterwards.  I do think I prefer the former method.  Place all the pieces on the parchment paper.  Bake 15 minutes on middle shelf.  Raise shelf and bake chips another 5 minutes.  Allow to cool and store any remaining chips in a well-sealed cookie tin.
