Low-Carb White Cheddar Crisps with Rosemary and Black Pepper

December 26, 2016 by Faith 5 Comments

Low-Carb White Cheddar Crisps with Rosemary and Black Pepper make a great addition to your New Year’s Eve festivities, and not just for low-carb eaters!

low-carb-white-cheddar-rosemary-crisps-1I got you something, so show me a smile. It came in the form of an order accompanied by a wink, and because it was one of my best friends giving it, I knew two things: 1) it was something I would love, and 2) I had better smile.

I did the ear-to-ear teeth-baring smile (you know, like this emoji –> :D) and that seemed to satisfy her. She revealed a giant bag of cheese crisps that she had been holding behind her back and I literally squealed in delight. She knew it had been months since I’d been able to find them!

I feel a little sheepish admitting that despite it being a really, really big bag of crisps, it doesn’t last more than a week or so in my house. And I have been hearing the rumors for quite some time now; everyone and their brother (in the low-carb world) talks about how ridiculously easy cheese crisps are to make. In their most basic form, the only ingredient you need is cheese.

I decided to try them for myself and see, and lo and behold, they are, in fact, just as easy as everyone says they are. I used white Cheddar for these crisps, but the rumors also say that you can use things like Parmesan, Gouda, and Monterey Jack, to name just a few. My favorite store-bought variety is the Parmesan, so that’s what I’ll be trying next.

Here I paired a bit of piney fresh rosemary and freshly cracked black pepper with white Cheddar. You can use any herbs you like though, and have fun with the spices too. I think a hint of smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or garlic powder would be good. Maybe za’atar for Middle Eastern flair. Or you could do taco spice blend for Tex-Mex flavored crisps! Now that I know just how easy these are to make I can see that the possibilities really are endless.

And it definitely bears mentioning that these would be absolutely perfect for serving at a festive holiday party or at your New Year’s Eve party! They’re just as addictive as potato chips, and not just to low-carbers. They can be eaten as-is or served along with your favorite dip.

Low-Carb White Cheddar Crisps with Rosemary and Black Pepper
Prep time:  8 mins
Cook time:  22 mins
Total time:  30 mins
Yield: 12 large crisps, 2 to 4 servings
 
Low-Carb White Cheddar Crisps with Rosemary and Black Pepper make a great addition to your New Year’s Eve festivities, and not just for low-carb eaters!
Ingredients
  • 4 oz (115 g) white Cheddar, shredded
  • 1½ teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F; line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Divide the cheese into 12 parts and arrange each in about a 2-inch circle on the baking sheets (6 cheese crisps per large baking sheet; each is about 1½ to 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese). You can make them smaller if you like, but you may have to reduce baking time. Sprinkle the rosemary and black pepper on top of each.
  3. Bake until the cheese is starting to brown along the outside, about 9 to 11 minutes, rotating the trays once halfway through.
  4. Cool on the trays before removing (they’ll crisp up as they cool).
  5. I prefer to serve them within 2 hours of making them.

    These look insanely delicious. I’m sure I might not feel well after the 4th one, but I’d give it a shot. :)
    Hope you are having a wonderful holiday friend. :)
