Ingredients
Freshly grated Parmesan (preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano)
Optional: Black pepper or red chili flakes
Optional: Italian herbs (basil, thyme, oregano)
Parchment paper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Grate Parmesan finely and place tablespoon-sized heaps onto the parchment, spaced an inch apart.
3. Flatten each pile slightly with a spoon.
4. Sprinkle herbs or spices if desired.
5. Bake for 6–8 minutes until golden and crispy at the edges.

Notes
Use freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano for best results—avoid pre-grated cheese.
For flavor, try adding rosemary or a drizzle of infused oil after baking.
Great as salad toppers, low-carb croutons, or paired with pasta.
Humidity affects crispiness—store promptly in airtight containers.
Can be frozen and re-crisped in the oven.
