WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS FOR HOW TO MAKE PARMESAN CRISPS RECIPE?

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

HOW DO YOU MAKE PARMESAN CRISPS?

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 4-6 minutes or until nicely golden and crisp. Cool and enjoy!

    I love parmesan crisps. I love to make little bowls out of them and fill them with more deliciousness. Sometimes I make them really big and use them as a bowl for salad and then I eat the bowl when I'm finished! So easy and delicious!

    • March 14, 2017 / 8:04 pm

      They are wonderful indeed as salad bowls! Thanks!

    Oh I haven't made these in years! Thank you for the reminder – I quite like popping one on top of a hot bowl of cauliflower soup ooo!

    I love parmesan crisps. I actually just bought some at the store, but now that I know how easy it is to make my own I won't be doing that again!

    Oh I love parmesan chips.. when my kids were small i'd use the muffin pan to make small bowls and add stuff – especially veggies.

    I absolutely love parmesan crisps and the first time I made them I was hooked. Love how simple you're recipe is for them 🙂

      I went for the most basic one although I know this can be enhanced by adding some herbs and greens, too. 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.

  11. March 14, 2017 / 11:19 pm

    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!

  12. March 14, 2017 / 11:24 pm

    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!

  13. March 15, 2017 / 2:42 pm

    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!

  14. March 16, 2017 / 1:24 am

    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!!!

  15. March 16, 2017 / 11:05 am

    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.
