* % Daily Value shows how much one serving adds to a 2,000-calorie day. † Net carbs is not on US labels; it is total carbs minus fiber, allulose, erythritol and half of other sugar alcohols. "To taste" amounts are counted as written. Counted items (eggs, cloves, spoons) use the rounded amount shown in the ingredient list. Vitamins and minerals are from raw ingredients; cooking lowers some, especially vitamin C and folate. How this is calculated.
Steps
Heat the oven to 200 °C / 400 °F. Line the sheet pan with parchment.
Mix the parmesan, oregano and pepper.
Drop level tablespoons onto the pan, 5 cm (2 in) apart. Pat each into a thin round.
Bake 5–7 minutes.
Done looks like: Bubbling stops and the crisps are light golden at the edges. Cool on the pan 5 minutes, then lift off with the spatula.
Done looks like: Snaps cleanly when bent.
Equipment
Rimmed sheet pan (half sheet) $12–25
What to look for
- Heavy aluminum that does not warp in a hot oven
- Rim all the way round so juices stay in
Skip: Dark non-stick sheet pans; they burn the bottoms of vegetables.
Box grater $10–20
What to look for
- Four sides, including a coarse side for cheese and vegetables
- Stable base that does not slide
Skip: Rotary graters. A box grater does more.
Silicone spatula $5–12
What to look for
- One-piece (no seam where the head meets the handle)
- Stiff enough to scrape, safe on non-stick
Skip: Wooden spatulas for non-stick pans; they work but do not scrape as cleanly.
What goes wrong
| What | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Chewy crisps | Taken out too early or piled too thick. | Spread each mound thin and bake until golden at the edges. |
| Bitter, brown crisps | A minute too long. Cheese browns fast. | Watch from 5 minutes and pull them at light gold. |
| Greasy and flat | Pre-grated parmesan with anti-caking starch, or soft cheese. | Grate a hard block of parmesan yourself. |
