Ingredients

• 8 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 medium yellow onions
• 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

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Spread the grated Parmesan cheese in a thin, even layer over the parchment paper on the baking sheet.
3. Step 3: Slice the yellow onions very thinly, about 1/6 inch thick. Using a mandolin works best for even slices.
4. Step 4: Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on top of the Parmesan cheese, making sure they do not overlap.
5. Step 5: Brush the onion slices with avocado oil to coat evenly.
6. Step 6: Sprinkle the paprika, coarse sea salt, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and ground black pepper evenly over the onions.
7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
8. Step 8: Remove from the oven and let the Onion Ring Chips cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes to allow the cheese to firm up before breaking them into pieces and serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use parchment paper to prevent the cheese from sticking and burning on the baking sheet.
• A mandolin slicer helps achieve thin, even onion slices for the best texture.
• Do not overcrowd or overlap the onion slices to ensure they crisp up nicely.
• Enjoy them fresh within an hour as the chips can soften if left out too long.
• Switch avocado oil with olive oil if preferred, or customize the seasoning blend to your taste.

Storage

Onion Ring Chips are best enjoyed fresh the same day for optimal crispiness. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chips on a parchment-lined baking sheet and warm them in the oven or air fryer briefly to regain crispness.

Onion Ring Chips

• 8 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 3 medium yellow onions
• 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

1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and burning.
2. Grate Parmesan Cheese: Finely grate 8 ounces of parmesan cheese and evenly spread it in a thin layer over the parchment paper on the baking sheet.
3. Slice Onions Thinly: Using a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife, slice the 3 yellow onions very thinly, about 1/6 of an inch thick, and arrange them in a single layer over the grated parmesan cheese on the baking sheet without overlapping.
4. Brush with Avocado Oil: Lightly brush the onion slices with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to help them crisp up evenly during baking.
5. Season: Sprinkle the onion slices evenly with 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon seasoning salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper to add a savory and slightly smoky flavor.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the onion slices turn golden brown and crispy.
7. Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Onion Ring Chips cool on the pan for about 10 minutes. The cheese will firm up as it cools, allowing the chips to be easily broken apart and enjoyed.
8. Enjoy: Serve the chips plain or with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, Greek tzatziki, or burger sauce.

Notes

• Using parchment paper is essential to prevent cheese from sticking and burning on the baking sheet.
• A mandolin slicer delivers the best thin, uniform onion slices for even baking and crispiness.
• Avoid overlapping or crowding onion slices on the baking sheet to ensure they bake evenly and get crispy.
• After baking, allow the chips to cool on the pan for 10 minutes so the cheese sets up and chips become easy to handle.
• Onion Ring Chips are best eaten fresh within 1 hour, as they can soften when stored.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven or air fryer with a liner to restore crispiness.
• These chips make a great snack by themselves or served as an appetizer alongside other game-day favorites.
