Chef’s pro tip

To achieve flawlessly baked Parmesan Cheese Crisps, keep an eye on them around the 6-minute mark during baking. They can quickly shift from a golden brown to charred black. So, make sure to regularly check the oven to prevent that. If you notice that the crisps appear firm and golden brown around the edges, take them out immediately. They will continue to cook when cooling down.

What to serve with baked Parmesan crisps?

Pair the Parmesan chips with your favorite dish to make the most of this low-carb snack. Some options are:

Time-saving tips

Use a cooling rack: Transfer your cheese chips to a cooling rack instead of letting them sit in the muffin tin. It will speed up the cooling process.

Storage and reheating instructions

One of the top perks of these baked Parmesan Cheese Crisps is that they don’t require reheating. Prepare a large batch, and allow the leftovers to cool completely.

Frequently asked questions

We recommend using freshly grated cheese because pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt well. So use freshly grated cheese for the best flavor and texture.

Certainly! Use a silicone mat or parchment paper directly on an oven rack. But watch closely to avoid any cheese dripping on your oven.

The Parmesan Crisps are ready when the edges turn golden brown and the centers are fully melted. Remember that they will become even crispier as they cool, so it’s alright if they’re still slightly flexible in the center when you remove them.

Yes, you can! Use hard, aged cheeses like Asiago, Pecorino Romano, or sharp Cheddar cheese.
