CARBS! YASSSS! I mean seriously, who doesn’t love carbs? All our low-carb diet friends, this may not be the recipe for you. Then again…there’s always cheat day! So it’s decided then, you’ll totally be devouring these Oaxaca Chile-Parmesan Puffed swirls. Lucky you!
The coastal state of Oaxaca, Mexico is known for producing some of the most flavorful chile peppers available in the market. Our chiles have been smoked-dried in a traditional slow cook process that produces a sharp, lingering heat with an intense spicy flavor. When you combine these powerful chiles with gooey, parmesan cheese and bake to perfection, it’ll be hard to resist the golden brown spirals staring back at you. No worries, no need to resist! This recipe makes about 6-8 pieces and if you decide sharing isn’t for you, well we won’t tell anyone!
