crunchy snack

I think the think I miss most on LC is crunchy stuff. And don't tell me
about celery, I'm talking fried or toasted grain products here.

My wife recently devised a great crunchy snack. She popped some cooked
Dreamfields macaroni on a baking sheet, brushed them with olive oil and
baked them until they were browned and toasty.

Sprinkle with parmesan or any number of other things - one of the Mrs.
Dash mixes, onion salt, lemon pepper, powdered white cheddar, you name it.
Great crunchy snack.

How does that work?

Pepperonis nuked on a plate come out crisp, and I have heard that something
similar can be done with some cheeses. I have not tried baking or nuking
cheeses to crispness.

I'm tellin' you - the best crunchy snack I have on low-carb is micowaved
(or baked) pepperoni. Woo.

Though if you can get ahold of some low-carb tortillas, you can do
something similar to your macaroni, only it's perhaps a little easier.
I don't care for it, myself, but to each his/her own.

That sounds good. Do you really need both tenderizers? Does the Jaccard
work better than a meat mallet, for example?

Okay...I've save money and use my mallet.

Yes. They're called pork rinds here or cracklin's . they're made from the
skin of pigs, I believe.
