What Ingredients You Will Need

This recipe uses simple ingredients that pack a punch of flavor. Here’s what you’ll need:

Parmesan Cheese: Opt for freshly grated parmesan for the best taste and texture. Pre-shredded cheese works too, but make sure it’s a high-quality brand.
Everything Bagel Seasoning: This is the star of the show! You can find it at most grocery stores or make your own by mixing sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, onion flakes, and sea salt.

That’s it! Just two ingredients to create a snack that’s bursting with flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also try adding a pinch of cayenne for a spicy twist or some black pepper for extra zing.

Equipment Needed

You don’t need much to make these parmesan crisps. Here’s what you’ll need:

Baking Sheet: A standard baking sheet works perfectly for this recipe.
Parchment Paper: Essential for preventing the crisps from sticking to the baking sheet.
Grater: If you’re using a block of parmesan, you’ll need a fine grater for even shreds.
Measuring Spoon: Helpful for evenly portioning out the cheese and seasoning.

If you don’t have parchment paper, a silicone baking mat is a great alternative. And if you don’t have a grater, you can use a food processor to shred the cheese quickly.

Preparation Method

Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prep the cheese: If you’re using a block of parmesan, grate it finely. You’ll need about 1 cup (100g) for this recipe.
Create the crisps: Scoop about 1 tablespoon (15g) of grated parmesan onto the parchment paper and flatten it gently into a thin circle. Repeat until the baking sheet is full, leaving a bit of space between each circle.
Season generously: Sprinkle a pinch of everything bagel seasoning over each parmesan circle. Don’t be shy—this seasoning adds incredible flavor.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the crisps turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them—they can go from golden to burnt quickly!
Cool and enjoy: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crisps cool completely on the parchment paper. They’ll harden as they cool, becoming perfectly crunchy.

That’s it! You’ve just made a batch of irresistible parmesan crisps with everything bagel seasoning. Now, try not to eat them all before serving!

Cooking Tips & Techniques

Use Fresh Parmesan: Freshly grated parmesan melts better and has a richer flavor compared to pre-shredded options.
Don’t Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: Leave enough space between each cheese circle to prevent them from melting into each other.
Watch the Oven: These crisps bake quickly, so keep an eye on them to avoid burning. The edges should turn golden brown, not dark brown.
Cool Completely: Let the crisps cool fully before trying to remove them from the parchment paper. This ensures they’re crunchy and don’t break.
Make Ahead: You can make these a day in advance and store them in an airtight container. They stay crispy for up to three days.

Variations & Adaptations

One of the best things about parmesan crisps is how easy they are to customize. Here are a few ideas:

Spicy Crisps: Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes to the parmesan before baking for a little heat.
Herbed Version: Swap the everything bagel seasoning for dried Italian herbs like oregano, thyme, and basil for a Mediterranean twist.
Cheese Mix: Combine parmesan with shredded cheddar or asiago for a unique flavor combo.
Seasonal Toppings: During the holidays, sprinkle a little smoked paprika or rosemary for festive flair.
Dietary Substitutions: Use dairy-free parmesan for a vegan-friendly option.

Feel free to experiment with your favorite seasonings and toppings—this recipe is super forgiving and customizable!

Serving & Storage Suggestions

Parmesan crisps are super versatile and can be served in many ways:

Appetizer: Arrange them on a platter with dips like hummus or guacamole.
Soup Topper: Add a crispy, cheesy touch to creamy soups like tomato or butternut squash.
Salad Crunch: Break them into smaller pieces and use them as croutons on your favorite salad.

To store, place the crisps in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay crunchy for up to three days. If they start to lose their crispiness, pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes to refresh.

Low-Carb: Perfect for keto and low-carb diets.
