Crispy and flavorful Onion Ring Chips made by baking thinly sliced onions atop a layer of Parmesan cheese, seasoned with olive oil and a blend of spices for a delicious snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Onions

  • 2 yellow onions

Cheese

  • 5 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese

Seasonings and Oil

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the onion ring chips.
  2. Slice the Onions: Thinly slice the yellow onions using a mandolin set to 1/28th inch or a very sharp knife, ensuring uniform thin rings for even cooking.
  3. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Spread the shredded Parmesan cheese evenly in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Arrange Onion Slices: Lay the thin onion slices over the Parmesan cheese in a single layer to ensure crispiness and proper baking.
  5. Season the Onions: Brush the tops of the onion slices with olive oil, then sprinkle sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper evenly over them to add flavor.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is crispy and the onions are cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the onion ring chips to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before slicing them into chips for serving.

Notes

  • Use a mandolin for uniformly thin onion slices to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • Make sure onions and Parmesan are spread in a single layer to avoid sogginess.
  • Let the chips cool properly before slicing to help them set and stay crispy.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crisp texture.
  • Feel free to adjust seasonings to taste, or add chili powder for a spicy kick.
