Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 8 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Vegetables
- 3 medium yellow onions, sliced very thin (about 1/6 inch thick)
Seasoning & Oil
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Prepare Cheese Base: Grate 8 ounces of fresh parmesan cheese and evenly spread it in a thin layer over the parchment paper on your baking sheet, which will form the crispy base for your chips.
- Slice Onions: Thinly slice 3 medium yellow onions into about 1/6 inch wide rings. Using a mandolin slicer is recommended for even, consistent thickness. Arrange the onion slices in a single layer over the parmesan cheese.
- Coat with Oil: Brush the sliced onions with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to ensure they crisp up nicely and to help the seasonings stick.
- Season: Sprinkle the onions evenly with 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon seasoning salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Bake to Crisp: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the parmesan cheese is melted golden brown and the onion rings are crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes. This lets the cheese crisp up further. Break into chips and enjoy your delicious onion ring chips!
Notes
- Using a mandolin slicer helps achieve evenly thin onion slices for optimal crispness.
- Keep an eye on the baking time as ovens vary; remove when golden brown to avoid burning.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days for short-term snacking.
- Feel free to experiment with seasonings, such as adding cayenne for heat or Italian herbs for extra flavor.
