When I was on Atkins back in 2003/2004, I lost a lot of weight and had almost no cravings. I also learned tons of different recipes and snack ideas, this was one of them! I used to be a member of an Atkins Diet Bulletin Board and found this awesome recipe for imitation cheese nips! They definitely do taste like them too!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup hard hand grated cheese. This would be parmesan, asiago, swiss, cheddar, etc...
What to do:
- Preheat oven to 350 F
* If you use cheddar and other firm but not hard cheeses will work with this recipe, but it won't get as crisp and as crunchy as Parm or Asiago or other hard cheeses. The oil will separate from the cheddar and you'll have to pat it off before you eat it.
- (Optional) You can toss your grated cheese with any seasoning you'd like, or you can just leave the cheese the way it is. It depends what your favorite flavor is.
- You can either pile the cheese (2-3 tsp) on parchment paper making little towers or you can spread the cheese the whole size of the baking sheet, making one flat cheese sheet! You will slice these later.
- Bake 5 to 6 minutes until they are a light golden brown (they will be a little darker at the edges). It happens fast, so watch carefully.
DELICIOUS!
