What You Need
The main ingredient in parmesan crisps is –> parmesan cheese! Actually, it’s really the only ingredient you need.
For this recipe, you’ll need 1 cup of parmesan cheese. Both grated and shredded work really well, so use what you have on hand.
flavor add-ins
In addition to parmesan cheese, we recommend using your favorite spice blend to give your parmesan cheese crisps some extra flavor. Here are some options:
- Everything Bagel Seasoning
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Homemade Cajun Seasoning
A little goes a long way with seasonings. Add around 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of seasoning per cup of parmesan cheese. Alternatively, you can sprinkle seasoning right on top of each crisp before baking.
Cheese’s We Tested
Since there are lots of different kinds of parmesan cheese, here’s the rundown of what we tested:
- grated parmesan: grated parmesan cheese will create little round disks that do not have many airy holes in them.
- store-bought shredded parmesan: this is what we used in the photographs of this recipe. You’ll see that they come out airy and holey.
- freshly shredded parmesan: freshly shredded parm works just like store-bought.
How to Make Parmesan Crisps
- Preheat: First, preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Parchment paper is extremely important. If you don’t use it, your parmesan cheese crisps will stick!
- Mix: Mix together parmesan cheese and whatever seasoning you wish to use.
- Scoop: Scoop about 1 tablespoon worth of parmesan cheese and make 2-inches in diameter discs on your baking sheet. It should be a thin layer of cheese that is the same thickness throughout. You should get around 16 parmesan crisps, so you will need to use 2 baking sheets. The crisps will NOT spread out during baking.
- Bake: Bake at 400ºF for about 6-8 minutes, watching very closely. When the parmesan cheese melts and turns golden brown, remove it from the oven immediately.
- Cool: Immediately remove the parmesan crisps from the parchment paper and set them on a cooling rack to cool for at least 10 minutes to fully harden.
