With only 1 ingredient and just a few minutes to make these Parmesan Crisps are the perfect low-carb snacks or as crunchy topping for soups and salads!
Ever since I have tried these delicious Parmesan crisps I have been addicted to them! I have eaten these years ago but have never attempted making them thinking that perhaps it’s complicated. Ha! I was totally wrong!
A few days ago when we bought some parmesan cheese from the grocery I finally decided to make it at home. It was so easy!! Crazy easy!! How could I have not done this before?
So for the benefit of everyone else who loves parmesan crisps but never dared to make them, this is for you.
I love that not only is it great as a low-carb and gluten-free snack (perfect for hubby’s diet!!) it is quite versatile and may be used as a topping. It’s great to add to enhance the flavor of soups and when crumbled over salad! However you wish to use these parmesan crisps – they are guaranteed to be delicious!
Best of all – it only requires one ingredient — just Parmesan, that’s all. But you can certainly add extra flavor to it by adding some herbs or even spice it up for some heat explosion! Plain or flavored, these parmesan crisps are delicious!
Make them soon!

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR HOW TO MAKE PARMESAN CRISPS RECIPE?
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
HOW DO YOU MAKE PARMESAN CRISPS?
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Measure a heaping tablespoon of the grated parmesan. Place in a parchment-lined baking sheet or silicone baking sheet like a Silpat.
- Repeat until all the grated Parmesan is gone. Leave a space of at least 1/2 an inch between the parmesan mounds. Gently pat down or flatten the cheese – this is to ensure they are spread out a bit and not clumpy – the thinner – the crispier the result.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 4-6 minutes or until nicely golden and crisp. Cool and enjoy!

Good for you! This is such an awesome snack. Thanks!
Okay, I don't think I've ever read a recipe with one ingredient. LOL. Bravo! And, I've never once in my life had a parmesan crisp either. I have to try these.
Love this recipe! It seems so simple. And hear I thought this elegant treat would be a trick to make. Apparently the trick is simplicity!
I have been longing to make parmesan crisps for the longest time but have not yet made it. Looking at yours is making me want to make it soon. They are so simple to make and are so delicious!
I love parm crisps. I actually BUY them because I'm too lazy to make them. They're low carb, high protein and reasonable fat – which makes them pretty perfect for someone following a specific diet!
These are awesome!! As someone who always seems to need bread to eat with things like soups and stews, these are the perfect substitute and basically no carbs. Super easy to make, thanks!!!
This looks so much fun and I can already think of so many recipe to use these parmesan crisps with. Would be trying them soon 🙂
How do u store them? Can they be frozen?

To be honest, they’re always gone so quick so there’s never any chance to store. It’s so much better fresh anyway so I suggest consuming them on the same day but if you have left-over then store in an airtight container and enjoy the next day. Since it’s plain cheese, I don’t think it can be frozen but I could be wrong but I haven’t tried.
