Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated
Vegetables
- 2 medium Yellow Onions, sliced thinly (about 1/6 inch thick)
Oils & Spices
- 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil (can substitute with olive oil)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Coarse Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (or substitute with onion powder)
- 1 teaspoon Seasoning Salt (homemade or store-bought)
- ½ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Herbs & Spices: Gather and measure paprika, sea salt, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper ensuring everything is ready for seasoning your onion chips.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking of the chips.
- Create Parmesan Base: Spread the freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the parchment paper in a uniform layer that will form the crispy base of your chips.
- Slice Onions: Slice the yellow onions thinly, about 1/6 inch thick, and arrange the slices in a single layer over the Parmesan, avoiding overlapping to ensure even crisping.
- Oil the Onion Slices: Brush the arranged onion slices generously with avocado oil, making sure each slice is well coated to aid browning and enhance flavor.
- Season the Onions: Evenly sprinkle the paprika, sea salt, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper over the oiled onion slices for a balanced seasoning.
- Bake to Crispiness: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Monitor closely until the onions turn golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked onion chips to cool on the baking pan for about 10 minutes, then break them into chip-sized pieces and enjoy immediately or store for later.
Notes
- For an enhanced flavor experience, serve with your favorite zesty dipping sauce such as ranch, sriracha mayo, or garlic aioli.
- These onion ring chips are best enjoyed fresh to maintain maximum crispiness but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Adjust the seasoning salt and paprika to your taste preference or dietary needs.
- Using parchment paper is essential to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
