Crispy and cheesy Parmesan Onion Ring Chips baked to golden perfection with a blend of savory spices. This easy and flavorful snack combines the natural sweetness of onions with the richness of parmesan cheese, making it a perfect appetizer or side dish ready in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Cheese

  • 12 ounces parmesan cheese, shredded

Vegetables & Seasonings

  • 1 medium white onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Other

  • 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Onion Rings: Slice the medium white onion into 1/4-inch thick rounds to create evenly sized onion rings that will bake uniformly.
  3. Layer Parmesan and Onions: Sprinkle half of the shredded parmesan cheese evenly over the parchment-lined baking sheet. Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on top of this cheese layer to ensure each ring gets coated well.
  4. Season and Oil: Evenly sprinkle black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder over the onion rings. Lightly spray or brush each piece with the extra virgin olive oil to help the seasonings stick and promote crispiness.
  5. Add Remaining Cheese: Cover the seasoned onion rings with the remaining shredded parmesan to create a crispy golden crust once baked.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the onion rings turn golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning as oven temperatures may vary.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure the onion slices are evenly coated with oil and cheese.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice onions uniformly for consistent baking.
  • Feel free to swap white onion for red or yellow onion based on preference.
  • Serve immediately for best texture as chips soften when cooled.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities to taste, especially if you prefer spicier chips.
