Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the cheese.
Spoon rounded tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound.
Gently flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon to help the crisps spread evenly as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the crisps are golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the pan for 5 minutes to firm up.
Carefully transfer the cheese crisps to a wire rack to cool completely. They will become crispier as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy your Spicy Cheese Crisps!
