Keto Popcorn (Cheese Puffs Recipe)

This content originally appeared on Low Carb Yum. Republished with permission.

No other snack goes with the movies quite like popcorn does. Munching on the salty pieces is just part of the experience. Unfortunately, popcorn is made from corn, which is really high in carbs.

So, of course, you know I had to find an alternative. Just because I am on the keto diet doesn’t mean I have to give up my favorite snacks! I just have to use low-carb ingredients instead of corn.

This snack might not have the exact same texture as popcorn, but it does have the same satisfying crunch and satiates your craving for a salty snack!

Quick Tips

Cut the cheese evenly. In order for the cheese to all have the same texture, cut it into ½-inch cubes.
Dry the cheese before baking it. If there is moisture in the cheese before you bake it, you will have to bake it for a longer amount of time.
Place popcorn cheese on paper towels. After the popcorn cheese finishes baking, place the cheese on paper towels. Oil might release from the cheese as it bakes, so the paper towels will absorb it and make the popcorn even crispier.
