This easy parmesan crisps recipe only has one ingredient and cooks in less than 5 minutes! They are crispy and cheesy and gluten free!

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Grate parmigiano reggiano on the small side of a box grater. I found that it worked better if the cheese was perpendicular to the counter, giving you longer shreds. This gave the frico a lacier texture.
Heap two tablespoons of grated cheese for each crisp into well-spaced piles on the parchment. You can gently tap it down on top if you want.
Bake for 3-5 minutes until cheese is bubbling and beginning to crisp. Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely before lifting off the parchment.
Parmesan crisps can be stored layered with wax paper in an airtight container at room temperature for three to five days.

Tips and Tools

You must use the real parmigiano reggiano for this recipe. NOT the stuff in the canister.
The other thing you must do is grate it yourself, and you need to use a box grater. I tried using a microplane but two things happened. One, it takes a heck of a lot longer to grate enough cheese on a microplane to make these. Two, they just didn't have the same lacy texture.
