How to Make It

Follow these simple steps to create your Parmesan Crisps.

Preheat

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
This step ensures even cooking for the crisps.

Prepare

Grate the Parmesan cheese and spoon small amounts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each mound.
Ensure the mounds are evenly spaced for even baking.

Flatten

Flatten each mound slightly.
This helps them bake evenly and become crisp.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Keep an eye on them to avoid burning; they can brown quickly.

Cool

Let cool before serving.
This allows them to firm up and become extra crunchy.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, they lose crispiness when frozen.
Reheat: Crisp in the oven at 350°F for 3 minutes.

Tips for Best Results
