FAQs

How long do these crackers stay crispy?

They’re crispiest right after cooling, but they can soften in the fridge. Re‑crisp them quickly in the oven or air fryer.

Can I use shredded cheese instead of slices?

Yes! Mounds of shredded cheese work too — they’ll melt and crisp into chips.

What seasonings are best?

Garlic powder, onion powder, and everything‑but‑the‑bagel seasoning are popular choices.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Yes, baking at about 320°F in an air fryer for around 10 minutes works well.

Are these dairy‑free?

No, this recipe is not dairy‑free since it’s made with cheese.

Can I make a larger batch?

Absolutely — just spread the cheese pieces across more baking sheets.

Do I need parchment paper?

Parchment helps prevent sticking — it’s highly recommended.

Can kids eat these?

Yes, these are a kid‑friendly snack if they’re okay with cheese.

Are these gluten‑free?

Yes — the recipe uses only cheese and optional seasonings, making it naturally gluten‑free.

Can I freeze the crackers?

Freezing isn’t recommended, as it can change the texture. Best when fresh or stored in the fridge.
