Crispy Parmesan Rounds Recipes

PARMESAN CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan onto a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the spoonfuls about a 1/2 inch apart.
• Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool.

ZUCCHINI PARMESAN CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini with the oil. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, bread crumbs, salt, and a few turns of pepper. Dip each round into the Parmesan mixture, coating it evenly on both sides, pressing the coating on to stick, and place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the zucchini rounds until browned and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove with spatula. Serve immediately.

CRISPY PARMESAN POTATO AND GREEN ONION ROUNDS

Steps:

• Set oven to 400°F (set rack to bottom position).
• Melt the butter in the microwave.
• Generously spray a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet with cooking spray, then drizzle a small amount of butter over the cooking spray (I use the non-stick heavy-duty foil for this).
• Layer the thinly sliced potatoes in the bottom of the baking sheet overlapping slightly.
• Sprinkle with lots salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
• Drizzle the melted butter over the potatoes, then evenly sprinkle with green onion.
• Sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
• Bake uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are just fork tender (watch closely the thinner your slices are the faster they will cook!).
• Lift off using a spatula.
• Delicious!

OVEN-BAKED CRISPY ZUCCHINI ROUNDS

Steps:

• Set oven to 450 degrees (yes 450 degrees, or even a little higher if possible, this will create a crispy crust!).
• In a bowl mix together the panko bread crumbs with seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne (if using) and Parmesan cheese.
• Place the egg whites into a shallow bowl.
• Dip the zucchini slices into the egg whites (letting any excess egg whites drip off).
• Coat the slices in the panko mixture (use fingers to firmly adhear the mixture to the slices if necessary).
• Place on a greased baking sheet.
• Bake for about 5-6 minutes; turn over and continue to bake for another 6-9 minutes, or until browned and crispy.
• As soon as the slices come out of the oven sprinkle with finely grated cheddar cheese if desired.
• Delicious!
