Low Carb Cheese Crackers
"If you’re a fan of Cheese Nips and Cheez-Its, then you’re also going to love these low-carb cheese crackers. They taste scrumptiously cheesy with a touch of herbal goodness from the added rosemary. At only 1.2g net carb per serving (4 crackers), you can eat a whole batch guilt-free. You can use other cheeses of your liking in this recipe as long as you don’t skip the Parmesan – it adds quite a bit of cheese flavor to it. Go for cheddar or Swiss cheese if you like. If you like a lot of flavor, add one teaspoon of garlic and onion powder to the mix and drizzle with olive oil before baking. Smoked paprika also pairs well with these flavorings."
NotesStoring:
These crackers can be stored in an air-tight container for up to a week. You can also put them in a zip lock bag and freeze them. Melt them in a microwave shortly before allowing to come to room temperature. Alternatively, thaw them in the fridge the day before serving.
