'Backpapier' (parchment paper) consists of 'Back-' from 'backen' (to bake) and 'Papier' (paper). The first part indicates the paper's purpose.

A common pattern in recipes is 'ein Blech mit Backpapier auslegen' (to line a baking sheet with parchment paper). The baking sheet or pan is in the accusative case; 'mit' is followed by the dative case.
Ich lege die Kuchenform mit Backpapier aus.
I'm lining the cake pan with parchment paper.
Recipes often use 'auf Backpapier' (on parchment paper) without an article when no specific piece of paper is meant. This is especially common in instructions for spreading out or baking food.

Spread the potato wedges out on parchment paper and brush them with a little oil.
