Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best ones, and these 2-Ingredient Parmesan Bites prove exactly that!
If you’ve been scrolling through social media lately, you’ve probably seen this viral recipe making the rounds. I had to give it a try, and I’m happy to report that they’re crispy, cheesy, satisfying, and a wonderful high-protein snack for anyone following a bariatric or low-carb lifestyle.
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it only takes two ingredients that many of us already have in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
- 5 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 egg whites
Directions
- Combine the grated Parmesan cheese and egg whites in a bowl.
- Mix until well combined.
- Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls.
- Place them on a tray or plate and freeze for 2 hours.
- Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm with your favorite sugar-free marinara sauce for dipping.
