  1. 01Line the basket with parchment paper.
  2. 02Place tablespoon-sized mounds of shredded parmesan 2 inches apart.
  3. 03Flatten slightly.
  4. 04Ready for the air fryer. They cook fast, 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. 05Cool completely before removing. They shatter if you try to peel them off hot.
Freshly shredded from a block is essential. The pre-grated parmesan in the green can has anti-caking agents that prevent it from melting properly. You get a sandy, crumbly disc instead of a lacy, crispy wafer. Block parmesan, box grater, 30 seconds of effort, infinitely better result.
