Ingredients

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Helpful Products

• Grater
• Parchment Paper
• Airtight Containers
• Pepper Grinder
• Measuring Cups
• Measuring Spoons
• Baking Sheet
• Spatula

Recipe Notes

• Instead of pepper, substitute garlic powder, red pepper or any spice.

• Make sure to cool completely before removing from the pan.

• Use grated Parmesan cheese, not the powder in a can.

• Store in an airtight container.

Here’s how to make it:

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon tablespoonfuls of cheese onto the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches in between each mound for the crisps to spread.
2. Sprinkle each mound of cheese with pepper.
3. Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven for 5 minutes or until golden. Check crisps at 4 minutes to be sure they aren’t getting too brown.
4. Cool completely on the baking sheet before removing with a thin spatula.
