Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the crisps.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, shredded Parmesan cheese, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of seasoning.
- Form Crisps: Using a heaping tablespoon, place portions of the mixture onto a silicone mat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Press down each portion gently to form large, flat circles approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges of the crisps are lightly browned and the crisps hold together firmly.
- Cool: Remove the crisps from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. This allows them to crisp up further.
Notes
- Prep time does not include cooking the quinoa.
- MAKE AHEAD: Store the quinoa Parmesan crisps at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 day to maintain freshness and crispiness.
