    Yet, it sure makes for a great tasting snack!

    Low Carb Jalapeno Cheese Crisps

     
    This is the perfect snack for anyone on a low carb or keto diet.
    To be honest, this is really yummy for anyone whether or not on a specific diet as well.
     

    I first discovered my love for crisp cheese snacks the first time that I went on a low carb diet.
    Since cheese is so friendly to this kind of a diet, I experimented quite a bit with it.
    To be honest, cheese has always been one of my favorite foods too.

     

    There are many ways to modify this recipe beyond the jalapeno idea.

    Adding jalapeno to this certainly adds a tasty bite to the cheese. This is especially true if you dollop that jalapeno with a bit of sour cream or Greek Yogurt on top.

    However, by trading in that jalapeno for something else, you can make your cheese crisp even better.
    Here are some ideas for you.

    One of of my favorites, Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel.
    Sprinkle a bit of this on top of your cheese before baking it.

    Here are some other ways to make your cheese crisp taste even better!

    Simply add this with or in place of your jalapenos.

    What you will need to make this Low Carb Jalapeno Cheese Crisps

    This recipe used Shredded Parmesan Cheese.Please use the natural Parmesan Cheese as an alternative will probably not yield the desired results, as in crispen up.
     

    • Cheese- 1 ยฝ cups shredded (or grated) total. You could use 1 ยฝ cups of Shredded Parmesan Or you could use 1 cup of Shredded Parmesan PLUS ยฝ cup of another cheese such as sharp cheddar. Romano is another great choice for a cheese.
    • Jalapeno- 1 to 2 sliced.
    • Seasonings to taste.

    How to make Low Carb Jalapeno Cheese Crisps

     

    • Preheat your oven to 375 and prep one or two baking sheets for nonstick. Parchment Paper works well here.
    • Place your jalapeno slices on a baking sheet and bake for eight minutes, flipping them over midway (about four minutes into baking).
    • If you are using two kinds of cheese, simple combine them together in a bowl so that you can evenly spread the cheeses out evenly for baking.
    • Remove the baked jalapenos from the oven and place them on a paper towel. Then, place 'clumps' (or mounds) of cheese onto the prepped baking sheets about 1 ยฝ inch apart. Then, pat each of these clumps down so that the cheese in each clump is slightly overlapping one another. Place one of the baked jalapeno slices in the center of each of the clumps. Sprinkle any desired seasonings on top of each clump.
    • Bake the jalapeno cheese clumps until browned and crisp- about 12 minutes. Be sure to allow these to cool before serving.

    Tip: Use a tablespoon to to make your 'clumps' of cheese for baking. The tablespoon will give your crisps more of a uniform size from doing this.

      Could you use just cheddar?

        Hi. I would try using less if you do since cheddar is a more moist cheese. I have baked cheddar and it was fabulous!! ๐Ÿ™‚
