GARLIC PARMESAN SKYR BITES 🤤
For 15 bites (64 kcal per bite)
Ingredients:
– 200 g of Skyr Yoplait Nature (112 kcal)
– 170 g of flour (619 kcal)
– 8 g of baking powder (4 kcal)
– 32 g finely grated parmesan (138 kcal)
– 4 g garlic powder (4 kcal)
– 2 g salt (0 kcal)
– Pepper (0 kcal)
– A little beaten egg for brushing (29 kcal)
– 10 to 15 g grated parmesan (52 kcal)
For the sauce:
– 120 g of Skyr Yoplait Nature (71 kcal)
– 5 g Dijon mustard (3 kcal)
– 8 g lemon juice (2 kcal)
– 6 g honey (18 kcal)
– 5 g fresh chives, chopped (2 kcal)
– 1 small garlic clove, grated (4 kcal)
– Salt, pepper (0 kcal)
Preparation:
1. Mix the flour with the baking powder, the grated parmesan, the garlic powder, the salt and the pepper. Add the Skyr Yoplait Nature and mix with a spatula then quickly by hand until a smooth dough forms (be careful not to over-knead).
2. Let rest for 5 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into 10 to 12 portions, then form small regular balls. Place them in the airfryer basket, spacing them slightly apart.
4. Brush with a little beaten egg then sprinkle with parmesan on top. Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 180°C, watching the coloration. The bites should be nicely golden on the outside and tender on the inside.
Equivalent in a conventional oven: 190°C with convection for about 15 to 18 minutes.
5. In the meantime, prepare the sauce by mixing all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
6. Let cool for a few moments then serve with the sauce!
