Ingredients
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

Forming the Crisps

Spoon small mounds of grated Parmesan cheese onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each mound to prevent them from melting together. Aim for mounds about 2 inches in diameter.

Baking

Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch them carefully to prevent burning.

Cooling and Serving

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Parmesan crisps cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool. Once cooled, carefully peel them off the parchment paper and serve immediately. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Other Important Considerations for Nutrition

Parmesan cheese is naturally high in sodium, so be mindful of your overall sodium intake. Also, consider the source of your Parmesan. Freshly grated Parmesan will melt and crisp better than pre-shredded options.

FAQ

  • Can I add seasonings to these crisps?

    Yes, you can add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning to the Parmesan cheese before baking for added flavor.

    While Parmesan works best for its flavor and crispiness, you can experiment with other hard cheeses like Asiago or Romano. Adjust baking time accordingly.
  • How long do these crisps last?

    They are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They may lose some of their crispness over time.
