To dip in the Avocado Lime Black Bean Salsa try these delicious homemade Parmesan Chips
All you do is heat the griddle, frying pan or oven at 275 degrees and put stacks of Shredded Parmesan on the hot plate and flip once they start to bubble. Remove them from the heat and put on a paper towel to remove oil. You could add spices if you want to give it additional flavors.
