Ingredients

• 100 grams Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Grate the Parmesan cheese finely using a cheese grater. You should have approximately 1 cup of grated cheese.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese with black pepper, garlic powder, and optional dried Italian herbs if using.

Step 4

Spoon tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, and gently flatten each mound into a circle of about 2 inches in diameter, leaving some space between each.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Be careful not to over-bake as they can quickly go from crisp to burnt.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crisps cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

Serve the Parmesan crisps on their own as a snack or use them to garnish soups, salads, or pastas.
