Crispy Parmesan Chips

My second favorite cookbook is Better Homes and Gardens New Diabetic Cookbook. If you love healthy, gourmet-ish, delicious food, this is the book for you. Today I made these yummy chips!

30 wonton wrappers

Nonstick spray coating

2 TB olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp dried basil, crushed

1/4 cup grated parmesan or romano cheese

1. Use a sharp knife to cut wonton wrappers diagonally in half to form 60 triangles. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick coating. Arrange a 1/3 of the triangles in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
2. In a small bowl stir together the olive oil, garlic, and basil. Brush the wonton triangles lightly with some of the oil mixture; sprinkle with some of the grated cheese.
3. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining wonton triangles, oil mixture, and cheese.

Makes 60 chips (15 servings).

Now, obviously, there's no limit to where you can take this recipe! I added sea salt and cracked black pepper to this specific recipe. I have a feeling you could easily go the sweet route too with a little cinna-sugar mix. You might not want to use olive oil in that case though. Blech!

So enjoy and let me know if you come up with a variation you love. Ooh, how about the spicy route? Ouch!
