- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix the Seasonings:
- In a small bowl, combine the shredded Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and black pepper. If you like a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes to taste.
- Form the Crisps:
- Spoon small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) of the Parmesan mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each mound to allow for spreading during baking.
- Shape and Flatten:
- Using the back of the spoon or your fingers, gently flatten and shape each mound into a thin, even circle. Aim for a diameter of about 3 inches. This ensures the crisps will be thin and crispy.
- Bake to Perfection:
- Bake in a preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Keep an eye on them to avoid scorching, as oven temperatures can vary.
- Cool and Set:
- Allow the Parmesan crisps to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. As they cool, they will harden and become crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once fully cooled, carefully peel the crisps off the parchment paper or baking mat. Serve them as a standalone snack or alongside your favorite keto-friendly dips.
