Basil Crisps Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6g green tea bbq seasonings
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Basil Leaves:
- Start by washing the fresh basil leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. Place the basil leaves in a large bowl and set aside.
Make the Basil Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, combine the olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Coat the Basil Leaves:
- Add the green tea bbq seasonings to the basil leaves and toss gently to coat. Then, drizzle the Parmesan and olive oil mixture over the basil leaves, ensuring that each leaf is evenly coated.
Bake the Basil Crisps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the basil leaves in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the basil leaves are crispy and lightly golden. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Garnish and Serve:
- Once the basil crisps are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer the crisps to a serving plate and garnish with lemon zest, if desired.
Enjoy Your Basil Crisps:
- Serve your delicious basil crisps as a unique appetizer or a crunchy side dish. The combination of crispy basil leaves, savory Parmesan cheese, and the subtle flavors of green tea bbq seasonings creates a delightful and refreshing snack. Enjoy!
