Parmesan Crisps
Parmesan Crisps are the perfect low-carb snack! I love making them because they are easy to whip and guilt-free. I find low-carb diets work best for me to lose weight.
I’m not a stranger to one-ingredient recipes. My recipe for Cheese Chips is similar, if not the same! The only difference is that I used Parmesan cheese instead of other types of cheese like cheddar or mozzarella. Parmesan Chips have a delicious bite of flavor that only Parmesan cheese can offer. I recommend you buy a block of Parmesan cheese versus a pre-grated you can find in the pasta aisle. When you are making these low-carb chips, fresh is always best.
How to Make Parmesan Crisps
The beauty of this recipe is how easy it is to make. Shred the cheese on the finest grate your cheese grater has. Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Then, add a heaping tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese to the baking sheet. Make sure you space them apart so they don’t melt together, and you have one big chip. I’ve been there, done that.
I also sprinkled on Italian seasoning, but that is entirely optional. I liked the little bit of extra flavor it added, and it also made them look more interesting.
Bake them in the oven for 5 minutes at 375°F. You’ll need to stick close by because if you forget them in there, they will burn quickly, and the flavor will be off. They should be slightly golden.
Once you remove them from the oven, carefully slide each chip onto a spatula and transfer them to your serving plate. I like them best served fresh, but they will be fine if you need to leave them to sit while making the other batches in the oven.
What to Serve with It
Let’s talk dipping sauces! This Parmesan Crisps recipe is perfect for dunking. My favorite dipping sauce is a can of pizza sauce. I put the pizza sauce in little dipping dishes and place them alongside the cheese crisps. If you’re alone, double dip all you want, but while enjoying with others, just don’t.
Some other dipping sauces to try with this recipe are:
- Ranch dressing
- Pesto sauce
- Salsa
- Barbecue sauce
Storage Instructions
My preference is to enjoy them hot and fresh out of the oven, but I know that is not always feasible. If you are planning a party and want to prepare them ahead of time, you can. Just store them in an airtight container with wax paper between each cheese crisp until you are ready to serve. I wouldn’t store them for more than two days, though.
Can You Freeze?
Since you can freeze Parmesan cheese, you can also freeze this recipe. Make sure to store them in a freezer-safe bag or container. I wouldn’t store them for more than two months.
Other Ways to Use Them
- Parmesan Crisp Bowls. Get fancy and make Parmesan Crisp bowls with a muffin tin. Follow the recipe as directed, and once out of the oven, place the cheese crisp over an upside-down muffin tin. It will mold into the bowl. You can fill it with Caesar Salad. Yum!
- Low-Carb Croutons. Skip the croutons and make a low-carb salad with broken-up pieces of baked Parmesan instead.
- Sandwich. Use two Parmesan Crisps as your bread and put your favorite savory sandwich fillings inside.
- Soup. Add one to a bowl of piping hot soup and enjoy the extra cheesiness.
The possibilities are endless! Be creative and have fun with this simple recipe.
I made this recipe recently when I had a few friends over. Everyone was exclaiming just how good they were, and they couldn’t believe how easy they were to make. The whole platter was devoured within minutes. Furthermore, a few people asked for the recipe, and I said that it really wasn’t a recipe because of how simple they were to make. I’ll take Parmesan Chips over regular potato chips any day!
