Easy Low Carb Cheddar Pickle Chips

These dill pickle cheddar cheese chips are salty, savory, and perfectly crispy with tangy dill pickles, cheddar cheese, and just a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning. It’s the perfect combination of flavors for an addicting snack. No, these certainly aren’t potato chips, but I think the saltiness and crunchiness of them is another way to satisfy that craving!

While you can eat these as-is, they’re great dipped in some ranch dressing. As with my favorite fried pickles, the combination of dill pickles + ranch dressing is a delicious pairing.

Ingredients Needed

This easy, low carb snack comes together with just 3 ingredients, plus sea salt.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

  • Cheddar cheese – I highly recommend freshly shredded cheese for this recipe. You could also use Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, or pretty much any other cheese as desired.
  • Dill pickle chips – Use your favorite brand.
  • Everything bagel seasoning – While you can make these with other seasonings (or no seasoning at all), I find that everything bagel seasoning adds the perfect amount of salty, savory flavor that complements the dill pickle flavor well.
  • Flaky sea salt – Optional, for more flavor.

How to Make Cheddar Cheese Chips

Cheddar pickle chips are quick and easy to make. They’re an ideal snack because they require just 5 minutes of prep.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

  1. Add the cheese. Coat a muffin top pan with nonstick spray. Add the shredded cheese to each circle.
  2. Add the pickle chips. Add two to three dill pickle chips to each circle. Top with everything bagel seasoning.
  3. Bake. Bake at 375F for 9 to 12 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. (Watch them carefully, as they can go from done to burnt pretty quickly.) Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt.
  4. Cool. Let the cheddar chips cool in the muffin pan for a couple of minutes. Then transfer to paper towel-lined plates to drain and crisp up.
  5. Enjoy. Serve warm with ranch for dipping, if desired.

Recipe Tips & Variations

Here are a few tips for making these addictive cheddar pickle chips, plus a few variations.

  • Use freshly shredded cheese. It will give you optimal flavor and melting, compared to the pre-shredded packages of cheese.
  • Try different cheese. As mentioned above, you can replace the cheddar cheese with other desired cheese. White cheddar is a great option.
  • Add more or fewer pickles. Depending on the size of the pickle slices, you can add one or even four per cheddar chip.
  • Try jalapenos instead. Swap out the dill pickles for pickled jalapeño slices or candied jalapeños for a different flavor.
  • Make sure the cheese is browning. It’s important to bake these until the cheese is bubbling and the edges are browning or they won’t be crispy.
  • Cool in the pan first. If you try to remove the cheddar cheese chips from the pan immediately, you’ll just have melted cheese on your hands. Give it a few minutes to set so you can easily transfer it to the paper towel plate.
  • Bake directly on parchment paper instead. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mound portions of the cheese mixture, with 2 inches between. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon. Proceed with the written recipe.

Serving Suggestions

Dill pickle cheddar cheese chips make the perfect anytime snack. We love to dip them in ranch dressing, though if you’re counting carbs you may just want to enjoy them as-is. Super delicious either way!

They can also be served as a low carb side dish instead of french fries, to things like burgers (whether it’s an onion burger, turkey burger, or chicken burger), hot dogs or any other protein.

Proper Storage

How Long Will Cheddar Chips Stay Fresh? I recommend enjoying your dill pickle cheddar chips the day they’re made for best crispness. However, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    If you like olives, buy the jar of large garlic stuffed olives at Costco, cut into halves or thirds and use these instead of pickles. It is delicious. Any olive will do but the garlic ones are yum.

      I liked this quick snack. When i made the seasoning, I didn’t have poppy seeds but it didn’t matter.
      I made these to accompany soup.
      Delicious.

    Great snack. I used my mini muffin pan, one pickle slice and a sprinkle of white cheddar on top. Baked for 11 min. I have an older gas oven, so had to check often. Followed the recipe the rest of the way. Served at a tea and got raves!! Made 2 1/2 dozen.

    Bought the muffin top pan to make these and your pizza chip ones – loved them both! Not disappointed with my purchase.
