These crispy cheese bites are a delightful snack or appetizer, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal crispiness.
Grate the cheddar cheese using a box grater and place it in a mixing bowl.
Use a coarse grater for better texture in the crisps.
Add the grated parmesan cheese, flour, and smoked paprika to the bowl and mix gently to combine.
Mix gently to avoid clumping and ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Spoon small mounds of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Flatten the mounds slightly for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and crispy.
Keep an eye on the crisps to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Cooling allows the crisps to firm up and become crunchy.
Serve the cheese crisps on a platter and enjoy.
Pair with your favorite dip for added flavor.
