Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup reduced-fat Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a box grater or a food processor, finely grate the reduced-fat Parmesan cheese.
In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, garlic powder, and optional dried Italian herbs, mixing well.
Using a tablespoon, evenly scoop small mounds of the Parmesan mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each mound to allow for spreading during baking.
With the back of the spoon, gently flatten each mound into a thin circle, ensuring they are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and bubbly.
Watch closely in the final minutes to prevent burning as they can brown quickly.
Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to harden as they cool.
Gently transfer the cooled Parmesan crisps to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
