Description
Crispy Cheesy Dill Pickle Chips are a quick and crunchy low-carb snack made with melty cheese, dill pickles, and bold seasoning. Perfect for parties, game day, or satisfying snack cravings in minutes.
Ingredients
2 cups shredded cheese (e.g., Colby Jack)
24–36 dill pickle chips
1 tbsp blackening seasoning
Non-stick cooking spray (optional)
Dipping sauce (optional, e.g., ranch or Alabama white sauce)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400 °F (≈ 200 °C).
-
Pat the dill pickle chips dry on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
-
If using a non‑stick 12‑cup muffin tin, you may lightly spray each cup with non‑stick cooking spray.
-
Place a generous pinch of shredded cheese into each muffin cup.
-
Top each cheese bed with two or three dill pickle chips.
-
Sprinkle about ⅓ of the blackening seasoning evenly over the pickle chips (or divide the seasoning among all cups).
-
Top each cup with more shredded cheese to fully cover the pickles.
-
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and browned around the edges.
-
Optional: For extra crisp, after baking remove each cheesy pickle chip from the muffin tin and place into an air‑fryer at 400 °F for ~5 minutes.
-
Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauce (ranch or a tangy white sauce both pair beautifully).
Notes
Use parchment or silicone muffin liners for easy release.
Drying pickles well ensures extra crispy texture.
Try Pepper Jack or sharp Cheddar for added kick.
