Eating right is part of our post-bariatric surgery weight loss plan. Michelle Pollock, our Dietitian, recommends these tasty Parmesan Cheese Crisps inspired by VeryWellFit.com as a tasty, yet healthy, snack. Michelle’s version does not use any oil in the preparation, a nonstick baking pan or nonstick Silpat baking sheet will do the trick so the cheese won’t stick!

That is, until I discovered Parmesan Crisps! They’re so ridiculously easy. Granted, the Parmesan Crisp won’t act exactly like your favorite tortilla or potato chip. But as a vehicle for moving delectable dips from a bowl into your mouth, they’re pretty yummy and far better than a boring old spoon.
Simply spoon the grated Parmesan cheese into chip-sized, relatively thin dollops on a hot griddle. (I use this stainless steel griddle on my stove top for those of you who choose to avoid non-stick coating.) The cheese will melt, then turn crispy. At this point, use a spatula to flip the crisps over and lightly brown the other side. Then remove from the griddle onto a plate.
Parmesan crisps are the answer to one of my prayers. If you’ve ever searched for a healthy alternative to potato chips, you know just how hard they can be to find. It is extraordinarily rare for a store-bought chip to be fried in anything other than an industrially-processed, modern, highly-refined vegetable oil. Homemade chips can be made using healthy fats, but they’re so much work! As such, they’re relegated to ultra-rare treats in our home.
If you don’t have a griddle, you can spoon the Parmesan cheese into chip-sized, relatively thin dollops on a cookie sheet or two. Place the cookie sheets in your oven under the broiler and watch them melt and lightly brown. At this point, remove them from the oven and use a spatula to transfer them onto a plate.

Does Parmesan make a good crisp?
But when it comes to crisps, I’ve found that the type of Parmesan you use makes a huge difference between a delicate crisp that snaps easily and one that’s chewy and a bit tough. Shredding Parmigiano-Reggiano directly off the block makes for the best crisps, and it’s worth the extra effort.
