Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Line a cookie sheet or baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat liner.
Grate the cheese – I coarsely grate in small strokes.
Add 3″ circles of grated cheese onto the pan – 2″ apart.
Spread gently giving the cheese strands a little space – see photo #2.
Bake for 5 minutes until the crisps are golden in color and firm.
Do not over bake as they turn bitter.
Cool them on the sheet.
Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
Add any Seasonings-Flavorings:
Add a few pinches of seasonings to each grated parmesan circle. If seasonings are spicy – go easy!
The flavors will bake right in.
