Ingredients
- 2 yellow onions
- 5 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat and slice onions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Thinly slice the onions using a mandolin (setting 1/28th) or a very sharp knife to ensure even and thin rings.
- Prepare Parmesan base: Spread the shredded Parmesan cheese evenly over a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating a solid layer that acts as the base for the onion rings.
- Arrange onions: Lay the sliced onion rings over the Parmesan layer in a single, even layer to ensure consistent baking and crispiness.
- Season: Brush the tops of the onions lightly with olive oil. Then sprinkle evenly with sea salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper to infuse flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese is crispy and the onions are cooked through and golden.
- Cool and serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the chips to cool for a few minutes before slicing into chips and serving to let them crisp up fully.
Notes
- Use a mandolin for evenly thin onion slices to achieve the best crispness.
- Watch the baking time closely to prevent burning the Parmesan cheese.
- Allow chips to cool on the baking sheet to firm up before cutting and serving.
- These chips are great served as a snack or side dish with dips of your choice.
