Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Using a box grater or a food processor, finely grate the Parmesan cheese. Ensure it is evenly grated for consistent baking.
Spoon heaping tablespoons of grated Parmesan onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten each mound with the back of the spoon to create small circles.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and turns golden brown around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
Carefully transfer the cooled Parmesan crisps to a serving plate. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
