Baked Parmesan Crisps
Baked Parmesan crisps offer a simple way to enjoy crunchy, cheesy snacks made from shredded Parmesan cheese baked until golden and crisp. Optional pepperoni slices add a savory meat topping. The crisps have a firm, brittle texture and a rich, salty flavor characteristic of Parmesan.
Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese shredded, not grated
- 6 pieces pepperoni optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a measuring tablespoon, scoop small mounds of the cheese onto the baking sheet, keeping them about an inch apart.
- Gently flatten the mounds with your fingers.
- If you'd like, you can top half of the mounds with pepperoni slices.
- Bake the cheese mounds until browned and crisp, 10-12 minutes.
- Let them cool for a minute on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a cooling rack and let them cool for five more minutes before enjoying them.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of crisps from the pan.
- Nutrition information excludes optional pepperoni slices.
- Store plain crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days; they may lose some crunchiness but remain enjoyable.
- Crisps with pepperoni topping store best refrigerated in an airtight container and can be reheated briefly in the microwave at low power.
- Freezing crisps is possible but results in less crisp texture, so fresh consumption is preferred.
