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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Spoon rounded tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound.
Step 4
Gently flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon to help the crisps spread evenly as they bake.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the crisps are golden brown.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the pan for 5 minutes to firm up.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the cheese crisps to a wire rack to cool completely. They will become crispier as they cool.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy your Spicy Cheese Crisps!
