Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, paprika, and black pepper until well combined.
Using a tablespoon, scoop small mounds of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each mound into a thin circle using the back of the spoon.
If using parsley, sprinkle a small pinch over each mound for added flavor and color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5-8 minutes, or until the crisps are golden and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately as a snack, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
