How To Make Parmesan Cheese Crisps
Parmesan Crisps (fricos) are so easy to make!
Step 1
Grate or shred a wedge of parmesan cheese. If you have a food processor, cut the parmesan cheese into smaller pieces, toss the pieces into the food processor and pulse until the parmesan cheese is grated.
Step 2
Scoop up about 3 tablespoons of the cheese and place it on a baking sheet. An ice cream scooper works well for this.
Step 3
Spread out each mound about 2 to 3-inches wide and leave an inch or two between the cheese.
Step 4
Garnish the tops with toasted pine nuts or leave them plain.
Step 5
Bake the parmesan cheese at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5-6 minutes until the crisps turn golden in color.
Step 6
Let the cheese crisps cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before carefully removing them to a cooling rack.
Parmesan crisps can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

How long will these keep and how do you store them? They seem like a good option for several friends who come to play cards and are diabetic. I have the normal nuts tc for their snacks, but they have those at home. This would be new . This a shame what happens to us as we try to enjoy our Senior years! Thank You
