How to make Keto Parmesan Crisps: step-by-step guide

Cooking methods

Stovetop cooking

Preparation steps

Gather all ingredients and tools, including the Parmesan cheese, everything bagel seasoning blend, cast-iron skillet, and cooling rack.
Grate the Parmesan cheese and set it aside.
Ensure your everything bagel seasoning is ready and within reach.
Preheat the cast-iron skillet on low heat.

Cooking instructions

Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over low heat. Sprinkle a tablespoon of parmesan into a circle and sprinkle with seasoning.
Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip with a spatula and cook another 30 seconds. Sprinkle with seasoning, then transfer to a cooling rack until crisp. Repeat with remaining cheese.

Chef's pro tip

The biggest blooper when whipping up these Parmesan crisps is letting them cook a tad too long and ending up with a burnt, bitter mess. Here's the golden rule – keep a close eye on them! The difference between delightful and disastrous can be just a few seconds. Make sure you've got your trusty spatula at the ready to flip them promptly after about 2 minutes, ensuring that mouth-watering, crackly crisp we're after.

How to make it healthier

How about adding a mix of flaxseeds, chia seeds, or even a hint of nutritional yeast to boost nutrients and kick up the flavor a notch?

Time-saving tips

Pre-grate your Parmesan cheese and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Keep your Everything bagel seasoning blend pre-mixed and ready to use in a sealed jar.
Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to create a non-stick surface, making flipping and transferring the crisps a breeze.

What can I prepare ahead of time?

Set up your cooking station with a cast-iron skillet, spatula, and cooling rack, so you're ready to cook up a storm at a moment's notice.

Storage and reheating instructions

Storage tips

Before you store your leftover crisps, make sure they've cooled completely. This will prevent any moisture from forming inside the container, which could cause your crisps to become soft and chewy.

Store in an airtight container: Once your keto crisps are cool, transfer them to an airtight container. You can use a glass or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid or a resealable plastic bag. The key here is to keep the air out, which will preserve the crispiness of your crisps.
Keep at room temperature: store your crisps at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. This will prevent any moisture from forming inside the container, which could cause your crisps to become soft and chewy. Enjoy them within 3 days!

Frequently asked questions

Yes, you can use pre-grated cheese for this recipe. However, it's always recommended to use freshly grated cheese for the best flavor and texture. If you use pre-grated cheese, ensure it's good quality and not expired.

Yes, you can use cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan cheese. However, the flavor profile will be different, and the texture may also vary. Cheddar cheese is a bit softer and has a milder flavor than Parmesan, so it may not crisp up. Sticking with the recommended cheese for the best results is always best.

Yes, feel free to experiment with different spices to find the perfect mix that suits your taste buds. You can try adding minced garlic, chopped herbs, or even some crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

This recipe makes approximately 16 servings, depending on the size of your crisps. You can adjust the serving size to fit your needs, whether for a snack or an appetizer.

Yes, you can store any leftover Parmesan crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. This makes them a great snack to have on hand when you need a quick and satisfying bite.

While not the ideal method, you can reheat the crisps in the microwave for a quick warm-up. However, microwaving may result in a chewy texture rather than a crisp one. For the best results, it's recommended to reheat the crisps in the oven or toaster oven.

Yes, you can use a heavy non-stick pan or griddle instead of a cast-iron skillet. A non-stick pan will prevent the cheese from sticking, making it easier to flip and transfer the crisps.
