I have made Parmesan crisps since I started a low carb diet back in 2008! In fact one of the first posts on this blog was Parmesan Crisps Five Different Ways. Plus I've also made "Everything" Parmesan Crisps with a delicious addition of poppy seeds, garlic powder, and sesame seeds! They're also a great replacement for croutons in my low carb Caesar salad - who needs bread?!??

When I was making another batch of crisps the other day I wanted to elevate them - and as I had some cooked bacon in the fridge it seemed like a fantastic addition. And then as I love low carb spicy food, adding some heat seemed like an obvious choice - but of course it is optional!

How to Make Spicy Bacon Parmesan Crisps

Cut a slice of cooked bacon into small crumbles. You could also use bacon bits - just make sure they're 100% bacon and not "bacon flavored bits"!

In a bowl, mix together the bacon with shredded Parmesan, onion powder, and chipotle powder. You could also use cayenne if you prefer.

Divide the mixture between 16 holes of a non-stick mini muffin pan. 

Place under a preheated broiler until the cheese has melted - depending on how far away from the elements they are this can take 1-3 minutes. 

Leave the crisps to cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes for them to crisp up. You might want to leave them on a wire cooling rack for an extra 5 minutes if needed.
