Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 yellow onions
- 5 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
- 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
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the chips.
- Slice the onions: Thinly slice the yellow onions using a mandolin set to 1/28th inch or a very sharp knife to ensure even, thin rings.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Spread the shredded Parmesan cheese evenly in a layer over a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming the base for the onion chips.
- Arrange onion slices: Place the thin onion slices in a single layer over the Parmesan cheese, ensuring they do not overlap too much for even baking.
- Season and oil: Brush the olive oil gently over the top of the onions. Then, sprinkle the sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper evenly on top to add flavor.
- Bake the chips: Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese becomes crispy and golden.
- Cool and serve: Allow the onion ring chips to cool for a few minutes to help them crisp up further before slicing into chip-sized pieces and serving.
Notes
- Using a mandolin helps achieve uniformly thin onion slices for even cooking and optimal crispiness.
- Allow the chips to cool completely to prevent them from being too soft when cutting.
- For an extra kick, add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
