PARMESAN THYME CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine Parmesan cheese and thyme leaves in a bowl. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Lightly press with your fingers to flatten them into circles 2 inches in diameter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until slightly browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, about 2 minutes. Loosen edges with a spatula and lift off the parchment paper. Transfer to wire racks and let cool completely until firm, about 10 minutes.

PARMESAN CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Grate the Parmesan using the large grating side of a box grater, as you might use to grate carrots. Combine the Parmesan, flour, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. With a measuring spoon, spoon level tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared sheet pans, spreading each round into a 3-inch disk. Toss the mixture each time and scoop from the bottom of the bowl to be sure you get some flour in each spoonful. Bake in the middle of the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown.
• Cool on the pans for 5 minutes, loosen with a metal spatula, then cool completely on a baking rack. Serve at room temperature.

• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
