Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar, Parmesan or a mix
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or Italian herbs (optional)
  • Cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

  2. 2

    Spoon tablespoon-sized mounds of cheese onto the parchment, leaving 2 inches between them.

  3. 3

    Flatten each mound slightly and sprinkle with the seasoning and pepper.

  4. 4

    Bake 6–8 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers stop bubbling.

  5. 5

    Cool completely on the pan — they crisp as they cool.

Tips and substitutions

  • Pre-shredded cheese works, but block cheese you shred yourself crisps up better.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • Use them as scoops for guacamole or tuna salad.
