Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C fan) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Form the Parmesan crisps: Using a teaspoon, pile small mounds of grated Parmesan onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart. Lightly flatten each mound with the back of the spoon to create cohesive circles—aim for about 12 circles.
- Bake the crisps: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the Parmesan mounds for approximately 8 minutes, or until they become beautifully golden and crispy. Watch them closely to avoid burning, as oven temperatures may vary.
- Cool and serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Parmesan crisps cool on the sheet for a few minutes. They will harden and crisp up further as they cool, making them perfect for immediate enjoyment or as a crunchy garnish.
Notes
- Keep a close eye on the crisps while baking to prevent them from burning, as Parmesan can go from golden to bitter quickly.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- These crisps are excellent served on their own or as a topping for salads, soups, or keto-friendly dishes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
