Notes
Why Use Greaseproof Paper Instead of Parchment? Greaseproof paper prevents oil absorption, making the chips crispier compared to parchment paper. Best Parmesan to Use: Freshly grated parmesan → crispiest texture. Pre-grated parmesan → works, but may be less crispy due to anti-caking agents. Long-life parmesan (powdered canister type) → not recommended—it doesn’t crisp well. Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If they soften, re-crisp in the oven for 2 minutes at 350°F (175°C). Do not refrigerate - moisture will make them chewy.
