Ingredients
Scale
Cheese and Vegetables
- 2 cups Shredded Gouda Cheese
- 1 cup Carrot, shredded
Instructions
- Prepare the carrots: Place 1 cup of shredded carrot in a cheesecloth or paper towel and wring tightly to remove as much excess moisture as possible. This step ensures your crisps turn out crispy rather than soggy.
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the 2 cups of shredded Gouda cheese with the dried shredded carrots until well combined.
- Form the crisps: Using a tablespoon, scoop out mounds of the cheese and carrot mixture onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Flatten each mound gently with a fork or your fingers to form thin, even rounds.
- Bake the crisps: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake the crisps for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is sizzling audibly.
- Cool and serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crisps rest for 10 minutes to firm up. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving to maintain their crisp texture.
Notes
- Ensure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the shredded carrots to prevent sogginess.
- Use parchment paper on the baking tray to prevent the crisps from sticking and for easy cleanup.
- The crisps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- For a sharper flavor, use aged Gouda cheese.
- Adjust baking time slightly based on your oven to avoid burning.
