Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Using a fine grater, freshly grate 1 cup of Parmesan cheese into a bowl. Ensure the cheese is evenly grated for consistent crisping.
If desired, add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the grated cheese for a slight kick of spice and mix well.
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the grated Parmesan cheese onto the prepared baking sheet, creating small mounds. Space the mounds about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each mound with the back of a spoon to form thin, even circles.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the crisps are golden and bubbling. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the Parmesan crisps to cool on the tray for 2-3 minutes. This helps them firm up as they cool.
Carefully transfer the cooled crisps to a wire rack or plate using a spatula. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
