Low-carb jalapeno cheese crisps with olive oil and onion powder

Low-carb jalapeno cheese crisps are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that offers a perfect balance of spicy, cheesy, and savory flavors. Made with Swiss cheese, fresh jalapeno peppers, a hint of onion powder, olive oil, and a dash of black pepper, these crisps are an excellent option for those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet. They are perfect for snacking, appetizers, or even as a crunchy topping for salads and soups.

Ingredients:

5 jalapeno peppers
70g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1/2 tsp onion powder
1.20g
6 oz swiss cheese
170g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Jalapenos: Wash the jalapeno peppers thoroughly. Slice them into thin rings, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
3. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, onion powder, and a dash of black pepper. Mix well to combine.
4. Coat Jalapenos: Place the jalapeno slices in a medium bowl and drizzle the olive oil mixture over them. Toss gently to ensure the jalapenos are evenly coated with the seasonings.
5. Grate Cheese: Grate the Swiss cheese using a box grater or a food processor. Spread the cheese evenly into small, flat piles (about 1 tablespoon each) on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each pile as they will spread while baking.
6. Add Jalapenos: Carefully place a few seasoned jalapeno slices on top of each cheese pile, pressing them down slightly.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
8. Cool: Remove from oven and let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
9. Serve: Once completely cooled, transfer the cheese crisps to a serving plate. Enjoy them as a low-carb snack or appetizer!

Tips:

- For an extra crispy texture, make sure to thinly slice the jalapeno peppers.

- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cheese crisps from sticking to the baking sheet.

- Keep an eye on the crisps while baking to avoid burning. Cheese can go from perfectly crisp to burnt very quickly.

- Try experimenting with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or parmesan, for variety in flavor.

- For a milder version, you can remove the seeds from the jalapeno peppers before slicing.

- Allow the crisps to cool completely on the baking sheet to ensure they harden properly and become extra crunchy.

Once you taste these low-carb jalapeno cheese crisps, you’ll want to make them a staple in your snack rotation. Not only are they incredibly delicious and satisfying, but they are also quick and simple to prepare. With just a few ingredients and some easy-to-follow steps, you’ll have a batch of crispy, spicy, and cheesy delights ready to enjoy in no time. Perfect for any occasion, these crisps are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
