Parmesan snacks

Parmesan snacks are a delightful and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or even a topping for salads and soups. With just one main ingredient, you can create a crispy, cheesy snack in no time. Follow this simple recipe to make delicious parmesan crisps.

Ingredients:

12 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
60g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Prepare the Cheese:
- Measure out 12 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese (you can use the finely grated kind available in grocery stores or grate it fresh from a Parmesan wedge).
3. Form the Cheese Mounds:
- Spoon the grated Parmesan cheese onto the prepared baking sheet, making small mounds. Use about 1 tablespoon of cheese per mound.
- Space the mounds evenly apart, as the cheese will spread as it melts. Aim for about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of spacing between each mound for even cooking and to ensure they don't merge together.
4. Flatten the Mounds:
- Gently flatten each mound with the back of the spoon to form thin circles. Try to make them as uniform in thickness as possible for even baking.
5. Bake the Snacks:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the Parmesan crisps turn golden and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them, as they can go from perfectly golden to burnt very quickly.
6. Cool and Crisp:
- Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the Parmesan snacks to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
7. Serve:
- Carefully peel the cooled Parmesan snacks off the parchment paper or silicone mat. They are now ready to serve!

Tips:

- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.

- For uniform crisps, use a tablespoon measure to portion out the cheese.

- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.

- Allow the cheese to cool completely before removing it from the baking sheet to ensure it keeps its shape.

- Experiment with adding herbs or spices like garlic powder, black pepper, or Italian seasoning to the cheese before baking to add some extra flavor.

- Store the crisps in an airtight container to keep them crunchy for several days.

Making parmesan snacks is quick and easy, requiring only one ingredient and minimal prep time. With a few tips and some creativity, you can customize these cheesy crisps to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy these versatile snacks on their own, or use them to add a crunchy, cheesy element to your favorite dishes.
