Description
Golden, lacy Parmesan cheese crisps that are baked to perfection—ideal as a snack or crunchy garnish for salads, soups, or charcuterie boards.
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: a pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: spices like cayenne, herbs, or za’atar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop small mounds of Parmesan onto the lined sheet, spacing them about 1–2 inches apart.
- Lightly press the tops of the cheese mounds to flatten them slightly.
- Bake for 3–8 minutes until golden and crisp. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Let crisps cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up before transferring.
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best results—pre-grated cheese may contain anti-caking agents that affect crispiness.
- Watch the oven closely after 3 minutes to prevent burning.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- To re-crisp, bake at 150 °C (300 °F) for 3–4 minutes.
