Crispy Parmesan Bites

Ingredients

4 servings
|
  • 1 cup
    Parmesan cheese grated or Pecorino cheese
  • 1/4 tsp
    Black pepper ground or White pepper
  • 1/4 tsp
    Paprika smoked or Cayenne pepper

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal crispiness.

2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents the cheese from sticking.

3

Place small mounds of grated parmesan cheese on the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Use a tablespoon to measure out the cheese for uniform sizes.

Remove from the oven and let the bites cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

Cooling on the baking sheet allows the bites to firm up and become crispy.

7

Serve the crispy parmesan bites as a snack or garnish for soups and salads.

These bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later.
