Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the Parmesan cheese crisps.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Form cheese rounds: Place 1 tablespoon scoops of grated Parmesan cheese on the parchment paper, spacing each at least 1 inch apart. Flatten each scoop with the back of a spatula until rounds are about 2-3 inches wide and ⅛-¼ inch thick.
- Bake the crisps: Bake in the preheated oven for 4 to 6 minutes or until the crisps turn golden brown on the edges.
- Cool after baking: Remove the crisps from the baking sheet and place them on a plate to cool and harden for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Heat skillet: Alternatively, place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat to make the crisps on the stovetop.
- Add cheese to skillet: Once the skillet is warm, add 1 tablespoon scoops of Parmesan cheese, spaced at least 1 inch apart. Flatten each to 2-3 inches wide and ⅛-¼ inch thick using the back of a spatula.
- Cook on stove: Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until edges begin to turn golden brown.
- Flip and cook additional time: Flip each crisp carefully, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to crisp the other side.
- Cool after stovetop cooking: Remove crisps from the skillet and place on a plate to cool and harden for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to space the cheese rounds at least 1 inch apart to prevent them from sticking together as they melt.
- Flattening the cheese rounds to a consistent thickness helps ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; watch closely to prevent burning.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
- Parmesan crisps can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week but are best enjoyed fresh.
