This parmesan crisps recipe with step by step instructions for how to make easy parmesan crisps is the easiest way to make savory crunchy, cheesy, salty snacks.
Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or silpat baking mat.
Grate the cheese using a cheese grater. Spread the cheese on the sheet pan, in a single, thin layer. It's okay if there are small gaps in the layer of cheese, it doesn't need to be a heavy layer. The cheese will melt and spread. If you want flavoring, add a few pinches of black pepper, garlic, or Italian seasoning over the top of the cheese.
2 cups Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper
Bake until melted and golden, about 5 minutes.
Remove the cheese from the oven and allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes, or until you can lift the parchment paper easily and safely from the pan.
Remove the parchment paper and melted cheese crisp from the pan. Use a paper towel or cloth towel to pat excess oil away from the cheese. Gently flip the cheese and repeat on the other side. Place the giant cheese crisp on a cutting board.
Once fully cool and crispy, cut the giant cheese crisp into square crackers or chips.
Place the bite-sized parmesan crisps in an air-tight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
