Parmesan Cheese Crisps recipe - easy to make and a wonderful one ingredient snack. Also called Parmesan Fricos, they're great to eat by themselves or use as a low-carb "cracker".
Line a large baking sheet with nonstick liner. Using a tablespoon or an ice cream scoop for consistency, place three tablespoons of grated Parmesan onto a baking sheet, forming small piles.
Gently flatten each pile into circles that are 2 to 3 inches wide, ensuring there’s an inch or two of space between each one to allow for spreading.
If desired, add a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts to each cheese mound for extra flavor and crunch, or you can opt to keep them simple and unadorned.
Bake the mounds in the preheated oven for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
After baking, let the crisps rest on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes to set. Then, with a gentle touch, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely and crisp up.
Notes
Even Rounds: Ensure each cheese mound is evenly spaced and flattened for uniform crisps.
Watch Closely: Keep an eye on the oven as they can go from perfectly golden to overdone quickly.
Cooling Time: Let them cool for about about 3 minutes on the baking sheet for the crisps to set. Then, transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Storage Savvy: Store in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness.
