Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Finely grate 1 cup of Parmesan cheese using a microplane or the fine side of a box grater.
Using a tablespoon, scoop spoonfuls of grated Parmesan cheese onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound slightly to create circles approximately 2 inches in diameter, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Place the baking sheet in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 5-8 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as the crisps can go from golden to burnt quickly.
Remove the crisps from the oven once they are a light golden brown and have a lacy appearance.
Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them carefully to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve the Parmesan crisps plain as a snack or use them as a topping for salads, soups, or pasta dishes.
