Parmesan Rice Crisps with Roasted Tomato Salsa
 |
| Gluten-free crisps with easy roasted tomato salsa. |
Just another Sunday spent chillin' under the portal. I had a package of stale brown rice tortillas on hand and decided to experiment. Good things often spring from two simple words. What if...
Our dinner was Mediterranean- my tasty little zucchini-tomato-mozzarella number- on pesto penne pasta. So I wanted to serve a late afternoon snack with an Italian-Southwestern flair. These super easy crisps were terrific with margaritas.
Parmesan Rice Crisps Recipe
The brown rice tortillas we get locally are usually a bit stiff from being frozen, and sometimes they're so dry I suspect they are stale. But have no fear. These crunchy crisps are a fabulous way to use up stale brown rice tortillas.
Ingredients:
4 to 5 gluten-free brown rice tortillas
4 to 5 gluten-free brown rice tortillas
Olive oil
Sea salt
Garlic powder
Parmesan, grated fine with a microplane grater (or omit cheese)
Dried basil or Italian Herbs
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Brush the tortillas generously with olive oil on both sides and arrange them on baking sheets in a single layer. Sprinkle with sea salt. Dust them with garlic powder, to taste; then sprinkle on the Parmesan and dried basil.
Bake until crisp and slightly golden around the edges, about 7 to 10 minutes. Allow the tortillas to cool a bit. Using a pizza cutter, slice the tortillas into triangles and arrange the crisps around a bowl of Roasted Tomato Salsa [recipe follows].
Serves 3 to 4.
Karina's Note:
Vegans can substitute the Parmesan with vegan "Parm" or simply omit to keep it dairy-free.
