Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (150g) Aged Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, finely minced
  • 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 tsp Cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Dried parsley
  • 1 clove Fresh garlic, smashed

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the freshly grated Parmesan, garlic powder, minced rosemary, thyme leaves, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to distribute herbs evenly.
  3. Rub the smashed fresh garlic clove directly onto a silicone baking mat or high-quality parchment paper to deposit essential oils without the risk of burning fresh garlic bits.
  4. Place tablespoon-sized mounds of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving approximately 2 inches of space between each mound. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
  5. Bake in the center rack for 6 to 8 minutes. Watch for a 'Lace Effect' where edges turn a deep mahogany and the center remains golden and bubbling.
  6. Remove from oven and allow the crisps to set on the hot tray for exactly 60 seconds.
  7. Using an offset spatula, transfer the crisps to a cooling rack or cold plate to stop the cooking process and achieve a shattering snap.
