Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup grated low-fat Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg white
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, grated low-fat Parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, egg white, and water. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough begins to form. It should be slightly sticky but firm enough to handle.

Step 5

Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for about 1-2 minutes to ensure it's well mixed.

Step 6

Roll the dough into small balls, approximately the size of a rounded teaspoon, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.

Step 7

Using a fork, gently press down on each ball to flatten slightly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and the edges are crisp.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
