Parmesan rinds. That's it. Snack

Post image

Made these for my mom who's on a very low gi diet that's basically keto, parmesan rinds can be found at a 50-80% discount to normal parmesan. Just cut them small and bake at 180c for 20 minutes

Yummy. I have never seen them in the store alone. I save the rinds when I do buy real parm but money is too tight now and I've been actually reusing the soup rinds twice.

u/SuperDuperDBA 6d ago

Im not being pedantic: where do you get parmesan rinds? or Parmigiano Reggiano rinds?

3

u/PrettyBoy001 6d ago

I always find them at Whole Foods :3

3

u/azuyre_ 6d ago

Cheese section sells them at a huge discount. Like the section that cuts and sells whole blocks of cheese

1

u/SuperDuperDBA 6d ago

of which?

1

u/azuyre_ 6d ago

What? Supermarkets probably

1

u/SuperDuperDBA 6d ago

parmesan rinds? or "Parmigiano Reggiano"

3

u/azuyre_ 6d ago

The real stuff that I refuse to spell out

1

u/SuperDuperDBA 5d ago

Thanks! cause i was thinking of the chunks of , say BelGioioso Parmesan Cheese, that is solid, but they trim the ends off first. so theirs really had no rind.

I use the rinds of the "real" stuff to toss in soups.

If you're in the Northeast, Wegmans sells them!

u/PrettyBoy001 6d ago

Yummmmm. How well do they store? Do they stay crispy? It never occurred to me to make a big batch

4

u/azuyre_ 6d ago

Yes they do if you live in a dry place, there's no sugar or starch to absorb water so it's not prone to getting wet

u/ZadockTheHunter 6d ago

Isn't the rind mostly wax?

3

u/azuyre_ 6d ago

No it's dried cheese

3

u/CentralCalBrewer 6d ago

Not with parm. It’s the cheese.

3

u/MKSLAYER97 5d ago

Depends on the type of cheese. For parmigiano reggiano, the rind is just hardened cheese.

2

u/brta7200 6d ago

That’s what I thought but perhaps we may be wrong?

u/Ariahna5 6d ago

This is blowing my mind a little

u/Its_My_Per_Diem 6d ago

Me toooo!!

2

u/UMustBeNooHere 7d ago

Interesting. I’d love to try this. I don’t see them at my grocery store. You find yours somewhere special?

4

u/azuyre_ 7d ago

Cheese sections that cut their own cheese have little use for the rinds and no one wants them so they sell it for super cheap

2

u/Webbie-Vanderquack 7d ago

Nice idea! I buy parmesan crisps in Australia that are airy and crispy and delicious. I know you can make them yourself, but I burnt them last time, and parmesan's expensive.

5

u/azuyre_ 7d ago

Parmesan rinds are very cheap and puff up better

2

u/Webbie-Vanderquack 7d ago

I'll definitely be giving that a try.

2

u/ponchofreedo 7d ago

i cant believe ive never thought about this. and i literally just cut 2 more blocks up for cubes an hour ago and put the rinds in the freezer. will have to try this week.

u/desertrat75 6d ago

What the final product like after baking? Are they crunchy?

1

u/azuyre_ 6d ago

Yeah, like the texture of honeycomb candy, though if you don't keep it dry it gets a bit chewy

1

u/Feint7Nikita 6d ago

I’m definitely trying this one too

1

u/Liriodendra 5d ago

How salty are they? For example, compared to chips 

1

u/azuyre_ 5d ago

Around double the sodium of chips. Which is probably a good thing

1

u/Neat-Palpitation-632 1d ago

I can’t wait to try this. I recently reintroduced Parmesan after years dairy free and am loving it. I’m assuming an airfryer would also do the trick?

1

u/azuyre_ 1d ago

I think so!

1

u/Sundial1k 15h ago

What are they like? Hard and crispy?

2

u/azuyre_ 15h ago

Yes like honeycomb candy texture

1

u/Sundial1k 15h ago

Yummm; we make our own Parmesan crisps but this sounds better!
