Our favorite homemade chip only requires one ingredient and it's totally gluten free. Thank you, Parmesan!
We'll be honest - whenever we see a recipe that magically just has one or two ingredients, we can get a little skeptical. Unless, of course, that ingredient is Parmesan. Then we have all the faith in the world! (and these Parmesan chips prove it!)
Parmesan chips - also known as frico chips or Parmesan tuilles - are a crunchy and delicious little snack that double as garnishes (or even vessels for appetizers!). It's a magical little "recipe" that takes any dish to the next level, in terms of presentation and flavor. A crunchy parmesan chip on top of a risotto or broken up over stew is a great way to add lots of texture, and to make it a little more restaurant-quality. Baking up a batch or two of Parmesan chips is also a lovely way to accommodate gluten-free guests - they might even be getting the better deal than people eating regular crackers!
The best secret of it all? How insanely easy these are to throw together.
What you need:
Parmesan or Parmigiano Reggiano (both work!)Microplane or fine cheese grater
Silicon baking mat or parchment paper
Sheet tray
Extra seasoning if desired: freshly cracked black pepper, paprika, fennel powder, dried herbs
How do to it:
Crank the oven to 375 degrees F and place a rack at the center of the oven.While the oven's heating up, place your silicon baking mat or parchment paper on a sheet tray. For about 8 chips, you'll want to grate about 1/2 cup of Parmesan.
Want to get extra fancy? After about 2 minutes of cooling down, with a spatula, gently place the parmesan chip over the curve of a rolling pin or wine bottle. It will firm up in the curved shape, and then you can really impress your guests.
