Parmesan cheese crisps, that are perfectly seasoned and salted, are nestled within a white bowl and small ramekin siting side by side.

Years ago, I discovered Parmesan cheese crisps and immediately fell in love. They were just the BEST salty, cheesy, crunchy bite! After that lovely experience, I decided to start making them at home. Now, you can purchase them at the store but honestly, why would you…

Homemade Parmesan Cheese Crisps are done in just eight minutes, plus they are so much cheaper to make at home than buy in a store. These crisps can also be served for a wide variety of occasions. Whether you’re entertaining friends, throwing a party, hosting cocktail hour, or you’re just making a family dinner, this recipe is a welcome addition!

This recipe is also super easy to double or triple, since there’s only one ingredient. I like to make a big batch because they store so well in an airtight container. While you can keep it simple by just using one ingredient, you can also fancy up the recipe and make it your own. Since you can add all kinds of dried herbs and spices, this is also a great recipe to experiment with different flavor combinations. Be creative and have fun with this recipe!

Thin, crunchy Parmesan Crisps are easy to make and perfect for every occasion. Half of the depicted crisps are made with sea salt and the other half are made with red pepper flakes, adding a delightful spicy kick.

How To Make Homemade Parmesan Cheese Crisps

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees and then line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out about a tablespoon of shredded parmesan onto the baking sheet. You want to keep it in somewhat of a tight cluster, about an inch in size. The spacing should be similar to cookie dough on a baking sheet.

Place baking sheet in the oven and cook for 8 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Remove pan from oven and let crisps cool on baking sheet for 3-5 minutes. After 3 minutes, remove crisps and let them finish cooling on a cooling rack. Serve immediately or store in an air tight container.

Place on a cooling rack, shortly after exiting the oven, these parmesan crisps take only moments to harden before they're ready to serve.

People Often Ask…

Can You Make Parmesan Cheese Crisps In The Microwave?

Honestly, I had never thought to do this until someone asked me about it and I gave it a try! I am here to report that yes, you can in fact make these parmesan crisps in the microwave.

When you make them in the microwave, you have to use a plate instead of a baking sheet, which means you can only make one or two at a time. Spread your cheese out on the plate in the same way, then microwave for 30 seconds, if you need more time then continue cooking at 10 second intervals until done.

Bowls of parmesan crisps, lined up next to a bottle of wine and two glasses, seem to be the perfect addition to any charcuterie board.
