Description
These irresistible Parmesan crisps are a quick, low-carb snack made with just one ingredient—cheese! They’re crunchy, savory, and perfect for snacking, garnishing soups, or pairing with dips.
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: black pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Spoon tablespoon-sized heaps of grated Parmesan cheese onto the sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Gently flatten each mound to form thin circles.
- If desired, sprinkle with black pepper, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning for added flavor.
- Bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the crisps are golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the tray for a few minutes until they harden.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best results; pre-shredded may not melt evenly.
- Experiment with different spices or blend with other hard cheeses like Asiago or Pecorino.
- Store in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
