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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, paprika, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

If using parsley, sprinkle a small pinch over each mound for added flavor and color.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a snack, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
