Ingredients
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Place a rack in the center of the oven.
  2. 2
    Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.
  3. 3
    Lay the wonton wrappers on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
  4. 4
    In a small bowl, beat the egg white with a fork until frothy.
  5. 5
    Brush each wonton wrapper lightly with the frothed egg white.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle each wrapper evenly with dried oregano and a generous amount of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
  7. 7
    Lightly spray the tops of the wrappers with olive oil spray to help the cheese crisp.
  8. 8
    Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each wrapper in half diagonally.
  9. 9
    Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are crisp.
  10. 10
    Remove from the oven and transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up further as they cool.

Note

Storage: Once completely cooled, store the pasta chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Ensure they are fully cooled before storing to prevent sogginess.

Variations: For a richer flavor, substitute half of the Parmigiano-Reggiano with shredded Pecorino Romano. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat or fresh basil leaves after baking for a burst of freshness.

Tip: Keep a close eye on the chips during the last minute of baking, as cheese can burn quickly. If you prefer thinner chips, you can roll the wonton wrappers out slightly before baking.
