These crisps are made by baking small mounds of shredded Parmesan until the edges turn golden and the centers set into a delicate lace. Paired with a warm marinara dip, they make a quick low-carb snack or an easy appetizer before an Italian-leaning dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cups marinara sauce
  • 1 tablespoons fresh basil, thinly sliced, for garnish

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

  2. In a small bowl, toss the shredded Parmesan with black pepper and garlic powder until evenly combined.

  3. Drop the cheese mixture by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart, and flatten each mound slightly into a 2-inch round.

  4. Bake until the edges are deep golden brown and the centers have set, 5 to 7 minutes.

  5. Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes to firm up before transferring to a wire rack.

  6. While the crisps cool, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 4 minutes.

  7. Pour the warm marinara into a small serving bowl and garnish with sliced basil. Arrange the Parmesan crisps around the bowl and serve immediately.
