Ingredients
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Optional seasonings (e.g., black pepper, garlic powder, or Italian herbs)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Grate the Parmesan cheese finely if it’s not pre-grated, ensuring a consistent texture for the crisps.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese with any desired seasonings, such as black pepper, garlic powder, or Italian herbs, to enhance the flavor.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon, scoop small mounds of the Parmesan mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 5
With the back of the spoon, gently flatten each mound into a thin, even circle about 2 inches in diameter.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5–6 minutes, or until the crisps are golden and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 7
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the sheet for 2–3 minutes to firm up.
Step 8
Carefully transfer the cooled crisps to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Step 9
Serve the crisps immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
