Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic

Parmesan Crisps

MAKES 12 CRISPS Easy and fancy is a combination we love, and these lacy, savory salad garnishes are exactly that.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan and rosemary and season with pepper.
  2. Drop tablespoonfuls of the cheese mixture 2 inches apart onto a nonstick or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Using your fingers, pat down the mounds into 3-inch rounds and bake until the cheese is melted with golden brown edges, 5 to 6 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few moments to firm up, then, using a spatula, transfer the crisps to a cooling rack to cool completely.
