Introduction:
Have you ever had one of those “Why didn’t I know this sooner?” kitchen moments? Well, get ready for one! This recipe reveals a game-changing way to transform ordinary shredded cheese into crispy, golden snacks or flavorful garnishes — no flour, oil, or breading required. Known to some as “cheese crisps” or “frico,” this simple trick takes just minutes and can elevate salads, soups, or snack time. You truly won’t believe how easy (and addictive) this is.
Ingredients:
-
1 cup shredded cheese (Parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella — your choice)
-
Optional: ground black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, or herbs for extra flavor
Preparation:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Scoop tablespoons of shredded cheese onto the sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
If desired, sprinkle seasonings over the cheese mounds.
-
Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and bubbly.
-
Let the cheese crisps cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serving and Storage Tips:
-
Serve as a crunchy snack on their own, or crumble over salads, chili, or pasta dishes.
-
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If they lose crispness, reheat for 2–3 minutes in a 350°F oven.
