Notes

  •  
  • Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
  • Nutrition values mentioned below are for single crisps.
  • Always use the best quality Parmesan cheese blocks. Pre-grated cheese may have fillers and additives which are not great for making crisps. Use the small grater hole on the grater when you grate Parmesan cheese. Fine grated cheese works best when melted giving a beautiful lattice pattern when cheese melts. Line the baking tray with a silicon mat or parchment paper to prevent crisps from sticking. No need to spray parchment paper with oil, as cheese once melts will be greasy enough. Spread grated cheese into a thin layer so it crisps up well. If adding other seasoning like spice powder mix it with grated cheese before spreading it on the tray. Keep the size of the crisps small and don’t layer the cheese too thick. It won’t turn crispy.
