Italian Parmesan Crisps - Giada De Laurentiis

These simple and elegant cheese crisps have been featured several times by Giada De Laurentiis on FoodTV shows.

8 -10 crisps
* 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
* baking sheet, with silpat or parchment


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Line the baking sheet with the silpat (preferred) or parchment.

Place a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan on the lined baking sheet and lightly
pat it down to make about a 2-inch circle.

Repeat with the remaining Parmesan, placing the spoonfuls about 1 inch apart.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 3 to 5 minutes until golden and crisp.

Allow to cool on the baking sheet before removing carefully with a spatula
for serving.
