Delightfully crispy and bursting with rich, cheesy flavor, South Beach Parmesan Crackers are the ultimate low-carb, gluten-free snack made with just one simple ingredient: freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Ready in under 15 minutes, these effortless baked crackers are perfect for those who love quick, savory treats with a gourmet twist. The recipe involves baking small mounds of Parmesan until golden, creating a perfectly crunchy texture that's ideal for snacking, pairing with dips, or serving alongside a charcuterie board. Whether you're prepping for a party or craving a light, satisfying bite, these crunchy cheese crisps deliver maximum flavor with minimal effort.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly spread it into a thin circle. Repeat this process, spacing the circles about 1 inch apart to allow room for spreading while baking.
Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges of the Parmesan circles turn golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crackers to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to firm up.
Carefully transfer the crackers to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy these crunchy crackers on their own or paired with your favorite dips and spreads!
