Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Optional seasonings (e.g., black pepper, garlic powder, or Italian herbs)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Grate the Parmesan cheese finely if it’s not pre-grated, ensuring a consistent texture for the crisps.
In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese with any desired seasonings, such as black pepper, garlic powder, or Italian herbs, to enhance the flavor.
Using a tablespoon, scoop small mounds of the Parmesan mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
With the back of the spoon, gently flatten each mound into a thin, even circle about 2 inches in diameter.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5–6 minutes, or until the crisps are golden and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the sheet for 2–3 minutes to firm up.
Carefully transfer the cooled crisps to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Serve the crisps immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
