Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, softened butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Use a spatula or your hands to mix the ingredients until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it comes together.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each portion into a cylinder about 1 inch in diameter. Wrap the cylinders tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Once chilled, unwrap the dough and slice into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Sprinkle the rounds lightly with paprika for added flavor and color.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the rounds are crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the Parmesan rounds cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
