TikTok's Homemade Cheez-Its Are Even Cheesier Than the Originals

Looking for a tasty summer snack that isn't loaded with preservatives? TikTok's got the solution both you and your kids will enjoy. Turns out, with just a few slices of cheese and an oven, you can make delicious faux Cheez-Its that are just as (if not more) cheesy and crispy as their store-bought counterparts.

Try this recipe out with whatever cheese you like, from Cheddar to Colby Jack. Jazz them up with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, garlic powder, or rosemary, and snack on them at your next dinner party or wine night. (Just add a few sliced meats and your charcuterie board is complete!)

Another plus: These oven-baked crisps are low-carb, less-processed, and keto-friendly, if that's your jam.

Here's How to Make TikTok's Homemade Cheez-Its

• 4 slices of pre-sliced sandwich-style Cheddar cheese (or any kind you like)
• 1 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat your oven to 275°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice each piece of cheese evenly into 4 squares. Use a straw or skewer to poke a small hole into the center of each square. Move each piece onto the baking sheet, spacing them apart evenly. Sprinkle the cheese squares evenly with salt.
3. Bake for 25 minutes; remove from oven and transfer to paper towels to cool.
