Tools Needed for This Recipe

How to Make Parmesan Crisps {Quick Overview}
This is just a quick overview of some of the steps involved in making the parmesan chips. For the recipe in detail, including exact measurements used at each step, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
Preheat oven to 400 F.
To a large, rimmed baking sheet topped with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat, make 12 piles of 1 tbsp parmesan cheese each.
Flatten and shape the piles into small circles. It’s okay if there are a few gaps in the cheese shreds – the cheese will fuse the crisp together.
If desired, add seasoning to top parmesan cheese. I’ve tried 1) salt and pepper; 2) Italian seasoning; and 3) everything bagel seasoning (and they were all amazing), but feel free to experiment!
Place in oven.
Bake for 4-6 minutes, or until the edges brown and the chips start to crisp up.
TIP: If you want them even crispier, you can leave them in the oven until more of the interior begins to brown. Beware that this can quickly lead to burnt cheese; you will need to watch them carefully. Keep in mind that the cheese will crisp up more as it cools.
Let cool and enjoy your delicious creation!
