Ingredients

Scale
Onion Chips Base
- 1-2 large Onions (Choose yellow for sweetness, white for sharpness, or red for sweetness but be mindful of moisture.)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded or finely grated) (Finely grated gives maximum crunch.)
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional) (Adds a smokey flavor.)
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Use sparingly as Parmesan is already salty.)
Preparation Tools
- 1 sheet Parchment paper (Helps with easy release.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the onions into thin rounds and separate them into rings.
- Pat the onion rings dry with a paper towel.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Arranging the Chips
- Make small mounds of Parmesan on the sheet pan, about 1 tablespoon per chip.
- Flatten the Parmesan slightly and place one onion ring on each mound.
- Ensure there is enough space between each chip.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 16 minutes until cheese is golden and the onion is softened.
- Start checking around 11 minutes to prevent burning.
Cooling
- Remove from oven and let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve these chips with dips like garlic aioli or spicy ketchup. For the best texture, ensure onions are patted dry and not overcrowded on the pan.
