easy cheesy snackers


Crunchy snacks that are low carb are pretty much non-existent.

Sure, veggies are crunchy but they just aren't satisfying if one is craving chips.  Pork rinds are usually zero carbs but gosh...it's the fat off a hog!

I saw this idea on Pinterest.  You can use a hard cheese, like Parmesan, Asiago, or Romano, to make a crunchy, crackery type snack.

All you have to do is thinly slice the cheese into cracker sized pieces...


Arrange them on a silicone mat...


And microwave them 45 - 60 seconds, depending on your microwave and how thin you've sliced the cheese. Cool on the mat and you are done!


The original instructions said to shred the cheese and arrange by spoonfuls.   
I found that this results in spreading and very thin fragile snacks.

 Using slices keeps them slightly chewy. Good for topping a salad,eating alone or with a dip or spread...like this Philadelphia Smoked Salmon spread.


They are very rich so just a few can curb a craving.  I have stored the extras in the fridge but they tend to get softer and chewier.
