Ingredients
Scale
Potato Rounds
- 12 small potatoes, sliced into rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Coat Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil to coat them evenly, ensuring each slice is well covered.
- Add Seasonings: Add grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly so each potato round is coated with the seasoning mix.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap to allow even cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Flip the potato rounds halfway through baking to ensure they become golden and crispy on both sides.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the potato rounds from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm as a tasty snack or side dish.
Notes
- Use small, uniform potatoes to ensure even cooking and consistent size.
- Flipping the potato rounds halfway is key for achieving a crispy texture on both sides.
- You can adjust the seasoning quantities to taste, especially the salt and paprika for more or less spice.
- For a gluten-free snack, verify that the Parmesan cheese is gluten-free certified.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best crispness.
