Crispy Seasoned Chips

Who's ready for a yummy, easy, low calorie snack?  My neighbor made some chips similar to these last weekend and brought them to the pool to share.  Her version was crispy and light, made with cheddar cheese.  I knew I had to make them! 

I made two different versions -- Dill Parmesan, and Chipotle Cheddar.  The possibilities for different flavor combinations is endless, though.  

You can find wonton wrappers at most grocery stores in the fruit & vegetable section near the tofu.  One package will make a ton of chips.  Each regular sized wrapper has just 20 calories and I cut mine into quarters -- so just 5 calories a piece for this part of the chip!

For the Dill Parmesan Chips:  

Spray a baking sheet lightly with vegetable spray.  After you cut your wrappers into fourths, place them as close together as you can without overlapping.  Give them another light spray of the vegetable oil.  

Sprinkle them with Dill, and then Parmesan Cheese.  Make sure you get a little of both on each chip, but don't try to be too exact.  I used fresh parmesan here.  I think it melts faster than the powdered stuff.  The chips cook so quickly that I was afraid the chip would start to brown before the powdered cheese melted.

Bake at 350 for 5-6 minutes, or until cheese is melted slightly and wrappers just start to brown on the edges.  Remove the chips from the baking sheet promptly and allow them to cool on a paper towel.    

For the Chipotle Cheddar Chips:

Prepare your baking sheet and wonton wrappers as described above. Sprinkle with Chipotle Seasoning and Cheddar Cheese.  Bake at 350 until cheese melts and wrappers just start to brown.  Cool on paper towels.  

Store in an airtight container or plastic bag.

1/2-1 teaspoon Chipotle Pepper Seasoning (depending on how

 spicy you like them)
