Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 yellow onions
- 5 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the onion ring chips.
- Slice Onions: Thinly slice the yellow onions using a mandolin slicer set to 1/28th inch thickness or use a very sharp knife for uniform slices.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Spread the shredded Parmesan cheese evenly in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to form the base of the chips.
- Arrange Onions: Lay the onion slices over the layer of Parmesan cheese in a single, even layer so they bake evenly.
- Season: Brush the tops of the onion slices with olive oil, then sprinkle sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper evenly over the onions for flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the Parmesan cheese crisps up and the onions turn golden brown and crispy.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the baked onion ring chips to cool for a few minutes so they firm up, then slice into chip-sized pieces and serve.
Notes
- Use very thin onion slices to ensure crispiness and even baking.
- Keep an eye on the chips while baking to avoid burning, as oven temperatures vary.
- Experiment with different spices or add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
