Caesar salad

Nothing beats a classic Caesar salad made with homemade dressing and croutons.

You’ve already got shaved parmesan, so this addition just adds more texture.

Why we love this recipe: it’s way better than packaged salads from the grocery.

Looking for a quick pick-me-up? This cauliflower soup has your back.

Pureed cauliflower has such a velvety texture, that you don’t even need to add cream to get that sought after silky mouthfeel. A splash of milk is enough.

Enjoy your parmesan crisps alongside this soup for a crispy contrast.

Psst… not a fan of cauliflower, any soup will do!

Why we love this recipe: it’s pure comfort in a bowl.

This Italian charcuterie board is a great way to start a dinner party.

It’s loaded with eye-catching and tasty elements like cured meats, nuts, fruits, olives, and of course, cheese.

They’ll go superbly with the deli meat and fruits.

Why we love this recipe: it’s really easy to customize to your tastes.

Hummus

You can easily buy hummus at your local grocery store, but the homemade stuff is so much better.

It takes a bit of work, but it’ll be the tastiest, silkiest hummus you’ve ever had.

The secret to that luscious texture? Add ice-cold water as you blend the chickpeas.

Skip the pita chips and use parmesan crisps to enjoy this luxuriously nutty dip.

Wild mushroom risotto

There are so many risotto recipes out there, but I always find myself coming back to this classic.

The earthiness of the mushrooms combined with the creamy risotto is simply irresistible.

And a garnish of parmesan crisps is all you need to take this from home-cooked meal to restaurant quality.

Why we love this recipe: most of the ingredients are store cupboard staples.

BLT sandwich

You can’t go wrong with a classic BLT sandwich for lunch (or dinner).

The key to making the best BLT, aside from quality ingredients, is getting perfectly cooked bacon.

This recipe recommends starting to cook your bacon in a cold pan, which renders its fats slowly and helps it crisp up.

Why we love this recipe: you can put the crisps in the sandwich, or next to it.

Mexican shrimp cocktail

Try some Mexican fusion and add pico de gallo salsa to your shrimp cocktail.

You’d normally serve it with tortilla chips, but why not try swapping in some parmesan chips for a cheesy bite.

You can serve the saucy dish in a big sharing bowl, with an equally as big bowl of parmesan chips next to it!

Or you can go for individualized portions.

Why we love this recipe: it’s a great appetizer for parties.

Chicken bacon ranch casserole

This chicken ranch casserole is a lifesaver when you’ve got a big group to feed and not much spare time.

It takes five minutes of prep work, and after that, the oven does the cooking for you – easy!

This casserole is already topped with shredded cheese, but I also like to add some crumbled parmesan crisps for a satisfying contrast.

Why we love this recipe: it’s ideal for busy weeknights.

Marinated cherry tomatoes

Tomatoes and cheese is a tried and tested combination.

Now imagine a few marinated tomatoes loaded on top of your parmesan crisps. It’s like a fun version of bruschetta.

Pro tio: make sure you leave the tomatoes to soak for at least a few hours. The longer they sit, the tastier they get.

Why we love this recipe: it’s a no-cook option and you only need four ingredients.

This cowboy caviar is packed with contrasting textures and flavors.

It’s got creamy beans, smoky charred corn, spicy jalapenos, sweet bell peppers, crunchy onion, and more.

Then everything is tied together with a zippy lime and balsamic dressing.

All you need are some parmesan crisps for scooping.

Why we love this recipe: it looks a good as it tastes.

Eggs in purgatory

Eggs in purgatory is a delicious Italian twist on the classic shakshuka.

It’s a warm and cozy one-skillet dish featuring perfectly poached eggs in a vibrant, spicy tomato sauce.

Serve this dish immediately with a platter of parmesan crisps to spoon up that fiery sauce.

Why we love this recipe: you can have it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
