Ingredients

Parmigiano cheese: Rinds

This simple recipe from sous chef Takahiko Kondo of Osteria Francescana turns Parmigiano rinds into satisfyingly snappy cheese crackers.

Parmigiano-Reggiano rinds are great for adding an umami hit to dishes, but did you know you can eat them too? In this recipe, chef Takahiko 'Taka' Kondo turns them into irresistibly crunchy crackers, the perfect cheesy snack that will also help you reduce your food waste. And he does it all in the microwave. "The trick is you must have a powerful microwave that heats at 800 watts," says Kondo.
