Let’s Get Cooking!
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Mix It Up
- In a bowl, combine cheddar, Parmesan, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and paprika (if using).
- Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Shape the Crisps
- Spoon heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
- Gently flatten each mound with the back of a spoon into a flat circle.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Watch carefully – they burn quickly!
Step 5: Cool & Enjoy!
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (they crisp up more as they cool).
- Serve and enjoy as a snack or garnish!
Tips & Tricks
- Cheese Options: Experiment! Gouda, mozzarella, or pepper jack all work well.
