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:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
