Ingredients

Instructions

Oven (Best for Even Crisping)

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.
  • Place small mounds of parmesan cheese, spacing them out. Press down for thinner chips.
    1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • Bake for 3-5 minutes, watching closely. Remove when golden brown and crispy.
  • Let cool completely on a cooling rack before serving.

Under the Grill / Broiler (Super Quick & Extra Crispy)

  • Preheat the grill/broiler on high.
  • Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and add small piles of cheese.
    1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Let cool before enjoying.

Air Fryer (Crispiest & Fastest Option)

  • Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line the air fryer basket with greaseproof paper or a silicone mat.
  • Place cheese mounds inside, leaving space between them.
    1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Let cool before removing for maximum crunch.

Microwave (Quickest Method)

  • Line a microwave-safe plate with greaseproof paper.
  • Add small mounds of parmesan cheese, spacing them out.
    1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • Microwave on HIGH for 30-60 seconds, watching closely.
  • Let cool for 1-2 minutes—they will crisp up as they cool.

Notes

  • Why Use Greaseproof Paper Instead of Parchment?
    Greaseproof paper prevents oil absorption, making the chips crispier compared to parchment paper.
  • Best Parmesan to Use:
    • Freshly grated parmesan → crispiest texture.
    • Pre-grated parmesan → works, but may be less crispy due to anti-caking agents.
    • Long-life parmesan (powdered canister type) → not recommended—it doesn’t crisp well.
  • Storage:
    • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
    • If they soften, re-crisp in the oven for 2 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
    • Do not refrigerate—moisture will make them chewy.
