Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or silpat baking mat.

Step 2

Grate the cheese using a cheese grater. Spread the cheese on the sheet pan, in a single, thin layer. It's okay if there are small gaps in the layer of cheese, it doesn't need to be a heavy layer. The cheese will melt and spread. If you want flavoring, add a few pinches of black pepper, garlic, or Italian seasoning over the top of the cheese.

Step 3

Bake until melted and golden, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the cheese from the oven and allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes, or until you can lift the parchment paper easily and safely from the pan.

Step 5

Remove the parchment paper and melted cheese crisp from the pan. Use a paper towel or cloth towel to pat excess oil away from the cheese. Gently flip the cheese and repeat on the other side. Place the giant cheese crisp on a cutting board.

Step 6

Once fully cool and crispy, cut the giant cheese crisp into square crackers or chips.

Step 7

Place the bite-sized parmesan crisps in an air-tight container and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
