Recipe Ingredients

- Zesty bread seasoning (find the recipe here)
How to Make Parmesan Crisps
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the parmesan cheese by the tablespoonful in small piles on the baking sheet.
Flatten the shredded cheese piles out evenly.
Sprinkle the zesty bread seasoning (or seasoning of your choice) over the shredded cheese.
Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown and the edges start to crisp up.
Serve your parmesan cheese crisps however you like!
Storage
Store your parmesan cheese crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can freeze them for several months, but they won’t be as crunchy once defrosted.
Recipe Notes
- If you want to make this recipe even simpler, swap the zesty bread seasoning for just dried basil instead. Other flavor options include garlic powder, cayenne pepper for a kick, everything bagel seasoning, , or black pepper too. I don’t recommend adding extra salt (such as or ) as is already salty.
- If your crisps are more chewy than crunchy, they might have been too thick when placed in the oven. Ensure your parmesan piles aren’t too thick!
- Ensure your cheese crisps are cooled before lifting them off the with a thin spatula, as they might break otherwise.
- Instead of parmesan cheese, you can totally adapt this recipe to feature your grated cheese of choice. That might be cheddar cheese or a combination of cheeses. Go wild!
- A combination of cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese will make your chips a little thicker, if that’s more your style.
- I prefer to make these in the oven, but you can also use your microwave to make your keto parmesan crisps. Place the cheese mounds on a greased plate and microwave for 30 to 40 seconds, until set.

Notes
These look so simple and delicious! I am going to have my son, who just took an interest in cooking, make these for a Christmas appetizer.
These will be fun to make with my little grandson! He loves Italian food, so I’ll use Italian seasoning and garlic for a trial run before he comes over to bake. Thanks!
Oh my, I’m heading out to get cheese immediately! These sound amazing!!!
Should the Parmesan be freshly grated from a wedge or can you use the pre-shredded kind that you usually find sold in tubs?
Grated???Please advise.
What is bread seasoning? Will i find it in the spice section or is it just a compilation of flavors you like?
There’s a link in the recipe for the bread seasoning
Great question Cindy… I also grate much of my cheese, so I look forward to this answer as well. Grating cheese is different depending on the cheese… our fam loves Asiago Parmesan grated…
I have used both freshly grated and packaged shredded and both work out well but I do find that I like the taste of the freshly grated a bit better.
Wow! Love how easy this recipe looks. I can’t wait to try it.
Love these! Have made several variations over the years.
These don’t look too hard to make, and sound delicious as an addition to a Charcuterie platter.
