These crispy, cheesy bites are quick to make and perfect as a low-carb snack or party appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or everything bagel seasoning)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or an air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking tray or air fryer basket with parchment paper.
