Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded cheese (Cheddar, Parmesan, or your choice)
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika (optional, for additional flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional, for additional flavor)
- 1 tablespoon Black sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheese with smoked paprika and garlic powder, if using, for an added layer of flavor.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each scoop, as the cheese will spread during baking.
Using the back of a spoon, gently flatten each mound of cheese into a thin, even circle for crispier results.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of black sesame seeds onto each cheese crisp for a decorative touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and golden brown around the edges.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crisps to cool directly on the pan for 5 minutes to firm up.
Once cooled, use a spatula to lift the cheese crisps off the baking sheet and transfer them to a serving plate or airtight container for storage.
Serve immediately as a snack or use as a garnish for soups, salads, or charcuterie boards. Enjoy!
