One of the biggest challenges of a low-carb diet is trying to find something to satisfy the craving for crunchy, salty snacks. The recipe below hits the mark every time. These crispy, crunchy, salty, spicy snacks are perfect for munching on their own or using to scoop up dips like guacamole or salsa.
You can use any type of hard cheese for this that you like. A good sharp or extra-sharp cheddar provides flavor match for the spicy jalapeno, but you could substitute a jack cheese or any other shred-able cheese you like. However you make them, they’re guaranteed to disappear fast.
