Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (preferably freshly grated)
  • Optional: Herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), black pepper, or garlic powder for seasoning

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Form Crisps:
    • Place tablespoon-sized mounds of shredded Parmesan cheese onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press down on each mound to flatten slightly and form a round shape. Leave some space between each mound as they will spread during baking.
  3. Season (Optional):
    • If desired, sprinkle herbs, black pepper, or a pinch of garlic powder on top of each Parmesan mound for added flavor.
  4. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese has melted and crisped up. Keep a close eye on them towards the end of baking to prevent burning.
  5. Cool and Serve:
    • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Parmesan crisps cool on the pan for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Use a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely and become fully crispy.
  6. Store:
    • Store the Keto Parmesan Crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. They can also be stored in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
