Leaf Crisps from Martha Stewart

What a lovely, seasonal touch for a salad or appetizer plate! We bookmarked this idea months ago and are excited that autumn has finally arrived so we can give it a try.

Shown in Martha Stewart Weddings, these savory crisps are made from wonton wrappers cut with leaf-shaped cookie cutters and seasoned with Parmesan cheese and herbs. Of course, you could use a different cookie cutter shape and make them in any season, but the delicate, golden look and texture seem particularly appropriate for autumn leaves.

So adorable!

I have a good friend who will be coming home from a trip on Monday. I am going to bake her the Pumpkin Whoopie Pies from yesterdays post....and now I think I'll use this as an autumn garnish! (...but baked with cinnamon & sugar of course)

Thanks for the idea! :)

Or use sheets of puff pastry for leaves of more substance.

I have done something like this in the past!
I made it for halloween last year (perfect timing) and the only difference was that it was deep fried and I cut in into the shape of a ghost and coated it in cinnamon and sugar (like morganong) and placed it on top of icecream with an other sheet of it cut in a square, underneath. And since it was a sweets party I topped it with chocolate syrup and beer nuts. It was a huge hit!
