- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the jalapeño: Remove the seeds from the jalapeño and slice it into thin circles.
- Arrange cheese: Place 1-tablespoon portions of shredded cheese on the baking sheet, forming 16 small piles. Gently press down on each cheese pile, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
- Add jalapeño: Place a jalapeño slice in the center of each cheese pile.
- Bake: Bake until the cheese becomes a deep golden brown, about 12 minutes.
- Cool and serve: Allow the crisps to cool on the baking sheet for 1–2 minutes before transferring them to a serving plate using a small spatula.
Enjoy these crispy, cheesy, and spicy bites!
