A quick and easy homemade snack featuring crispy Parmesan cheese and fresh chives, ready in just 15 minutes. These chips are savory, crunchy, and perfect for casual gatherings or solo treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine shredded Parmesan, chopped chives, garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, and smoked paprika if using. Stir well.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Using a spoon or spatula, scoop small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Flatten each mound gently with the back of a spoon to create thin discs about 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
  6. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, watching closely until the chips melt, bubble, and turn golden brown at the edges.
  7. Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
  8. Serve fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid soggy chips. Use finely shredded Parmesan for best texture. Watch baking time closely to prevent burning. Chips are best eaten fresh but can be stored for up to 2 days in an airtight container. Reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispness. Substitute chives with green onions or scallions if needed. For a vegan option, use dairy-free Parmesan-style cheese.
