Ingredients
  

  • 3 large egg whites
  • OPTIONAL: 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar stabilizes the egg whites
  • 1/2 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese frozen
  • 2 teaspoons Hot Spices or more if you like spicy!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place a piece of parchment onto a large baking sheet. Spray with avocado oil spray and set aside.
  • Grate the cheese into very small pieces. Place on a plate and freeze for 1 hour or overnight.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip the whites with cream of tartar if using until VERY stiff peaks form. Sprinkle the chopped cheese and Hot Spices, on top of the egg whites. Then, with a rubber spatula, fold the cheese into the egg whites, VERY CAREFULLY, being careful not to disturb the fluffy whites, but thoroughly spread the cheese, throughout.
  • Carefully place the mixture into a large Ziplock baggie, cut a 1/4 inch hole in the corner of the baggie. Gently squeeze onto the prepared baking sheet in CHEETO-like shapes. Sprinkle with additional hot spices if desired.
  • Bake at 300 degrees, for 20-30 minutes. The longer you can bake them (without them getting too brown), the crispier they will be. For even crispier Flamin' Hot Cheetos, turn off the oven, and leave them in the oven for at least 30-minutes.
