These low-carb cheese olive bites are an easy, flavor-packed snack that fits perfectly into a keto lifestyle. Each bite delivers a bold mix of salty and savory flavors, similar to stuffed olives—but without any flour or fillers. A combination of finely shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan melts and crisps in the oven, forming a golden outer layer that surrounds each olive with a rich, buttery crunch and a warm, briny center.
Low-Carb Cheese Olive Bites
Ingredients:
- Sharp cheddar cheese (finely shredded) — 1 cup
- Parmesan cheese (finely grated) — ¾ cup
- Green olives (pitted and drained) — 1 cup
Step-by-Step Directions:
Step 1: Prep the olives
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Drain the olives well, then place them on a clean towel to remove any extra moisture.
Tip: Make sure the olives are fully dry—excess moisture can cause steaming and prevent the cheese from sticking properly.
Step 2: Combine the cheeses
In a bowl, mix the cheddar and Parmesan until evenly combined. The mixture should feel slightly sticky and hold together when pressed.
