Notes
- ALWAYS use BEST quality Parmesan cheese blocks over pre-grated cheese packed in plastics. Pre-grated cheese may have fillers and additives which are not great for making crisps.
- Use small grater hole in the grater to grate Parmesan cheese. Fine grated cheese works best when melted giving a beautiful lattice pattern when cheese melts.
- Use silicon mat or parchment paper to prevent crisps from sticking to baking tray. No need to spray parchment paper with oil, as cheese once melts will be greasy enough.
- Place cheese scoops a few inches apart, as they will spread when cheese melts.
- If adding spices, add spices to grated cheese mix it to combine. Then scoop out cheese onto to baking tray.
- Keep the size of the piles small and don’t layer the cheese too thick. It won’t turn crispy.
- Baking time will vary depending on the size.
- Parmesan crisps come out crispier and saltier. Do not add any extra salt as Parmesan is naturally very salty.
