Cheddar Parmesan Crisps Recipe from our very own Registered Dietitian, Tina! 1 cup each of shredded cheddar 1 cup grated parmesan cheese Mix in a bowl. Then add 1⁄2 tablespoon Ranch dry seasoning and stir to combine. Scoop scant tablespoon-sized heaps of the cheese mixture onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet, making sure they are separated 2 inches apart to allow the cheese room to spread. Bake in a preheated 400 oven for 5-7 minutes or until edges are brown. Watch the oven carefully as it can quickly burn. Cool in the pan slightly and transfer each crisp onto a paper towel lined pan. Store in an airtight container. Pair with cottage cheese. Spice them up by adding jalapeño on top before baking or add cayenne pepper. Instead of dry ranch powder, substitute everything bagel seasoning. (Shredded parmesan cheese can burn easily, so grated is better for this recipe).
