  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 How to Make Parmesan Herb Crisps

Step 1: Prep the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Flavor

In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, rosemary, thyme, and chili flakes. Mix until evenly blended.

Step 3: Form the Crisps

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 6–8 minutes or until the edges are golden and crisp. Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.


🌶️ Chef’s Twist
