Looking for a crispy and cheesy snack or appetizer that can be ready in under 10 minutes and uses only 2 ingredients? Well, you need these addictive parmesan crisps in your life.
There’s a lot to love about this easy parmesan crisps recipe:
- Did I mention it’s a super duper ? You can be snacking on these delicious treats in just 10 minutes! All you have to do is place the parmesan cheese on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. That’s it!
- It takes just two ingredients to make these parmesan crisps: parmesan cheese (of course) and our zesty bread seasoning.
- It’s such a versatile recipe. Serve your baked parmesan crisps as a cheeseboard appetizer for your next game day and dip them in some marinara sauce or ranch. Alternatively, serve them as a crouton on your favorite salad or alongside your favorite soup. They would taste delicious with my tomato basil soup or chicken noodle soup.

Now you know just how good and easy it is to make these crunchy treats, I think it’s time to get baking.
Recipe Ingredients
- Shredded parmesan cheese
- 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
I use cheese crisps in place of croutons in salads, and as a crispy addition to veggies and soups, because I’m trying to keep my diet low-carb. But store-bought ones can get pricy. I had no idea they were so easy to make! I recently saw a suggestion on Facebook that you consider adding a slice of pickle to the cheese and baking them in little mini-muffin trays. I wonder if the pickle would add moisture that would in any way prevent the cheese from getting crisp, though?
I love this, I discovered this idea by accident.
Made these and they were delicious!!
You can’t get too much easier than a two ingredient recipe. These Parmesan Crisps sound delicious. My favorite part of any cheese topped recipe are the baked crispy cheese bits. I might top the parmesan cheese with Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute – a no salt seasoning with 21 savory herbs and seasonings. I put it on just about anything I cook or bake that is not sweet!
I add a sprinkle of dried pepper flakes to kick up the heat, yum!
I love super easy recipes.
This recipe looks so easy and delicious! I love parmesan cheese and can’t wait to try this! (Thanks for including instructions on making them in the microwave also.)
