Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the crisps evenly.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents the crisps from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley. Stir well to evenly distribute the herbs and spices.
- Form Crisps: Spoon tablespoon-sized mounds of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Flatten each mound slightly to help them bake into thin, crisp rounds.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and crisp. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Cool: Remove the crisps from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will firm up further as they cool.
- Serve: Once cooled, serve immediately as a snack, appetizer, or topping for soups and salads. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Watch carefully during baking to prevent burning, as the crisps brown quickly once they start to color.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture, as pre-grated cheese may not melt as well.
- Store the cooled crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain their crispiness.
