Texture can make the difference between enjoying food and not. In the absence of flavour, we have to get creative and give the mouth something else to think about.

These umami packed little treats will do just that.

Ingredients

1 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 tsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp plain (all purpose) flour, slightly heaped
2-3 tsp low salt Vegemite
¼ tsp chilli flakes, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 200ºC. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and combine by rubbing the mixture together with your fingertips. Wearing kitchen gloves is a good idea. Spoon a heaped tablespoon of mixture onto the lined tray. Repeat with remaining mixture, being sure to leave a generous amount of room between to allow for spreading.
Pop into the oven for 6 to 8 minutes or until melted, golden and a little darker at the edges. Remove from the oven. Carefully remove the baking paper with the crisps and allow the crisps to cool a few minutes before transferring onto a cooling rack.
