    I made this last night, it isn't very crunchy. I used parchment paper and I had no trouble with sticking. I will skip the oil next time to get a crunchier result. I made a double batch and used Italian Seasoning on one. It tastes great! The other is sweet w/only that little sugar. I was surprised. - 7/10/08

    These were good! They were a little dry but I think I may have over cooked them. - 2/20/08
