Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese finely grated, use block Parmesan for best melting
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked preferred
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste olive oil light spray or brush to grease parchment

Equipment

  • Oven Used for baking the cheese crisps at 375°F
  • Baking sheet Lined with parchment paper to bake cheese crisps
  • Parchment paper Prevents cheese from sticking to the baking sheet
  • Box grater or microplane To finely grate the Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease parchment with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Place oven rack in center position.
  2. Finely grate Parmesan cheese using a box grater or microplane. In a small bowl, combine the grated cheese with black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, mixing evenly.
  3. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture per crisp onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each pile about 2 inches apart. Flatten each pile gently with the back of a spoon into a thin disc about 2-3 inches wide.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes, watching closely after 5 minutes. Remove crisps when edges turn a deep golden brown and centers bubble but have not darkened.
  5. Allow crisps to cool on the parchment paper for 5 minutes to harden and become brittle. Use a thin spatula to transfer cooled crisps to a serving plate.

Notes

  • Use finely grated block Parmesan for even melting and best texture.
  • Space cheese piles at least 2 inches apart to avoid melted cheese puddles.
  • Cool crisps completely before storing to keep them crisp and prevent sticking.
