Print Recipe

These crispy onion ring chips are a delightful twist on a classic favorite, combining the satisfying crunch of chips with the bold flavor of onion rings. Perfect for any gathering, they are easy to make and incredibly flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • 3 yellow onions (medium)
  • 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 your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. This is crucial for crispiness, so don't skip this step!
  2. Grate 8 ounces of parmesan cheese and spread it evenly in a thin layer over the parchment. Ensure the layer is not too thick; otherwise, it won’t crisp up properly.
  3. Slice the 3 medium yellow onions as thinly as possible, about ⅙ inch wide. Using a mandolin slicer will yield the best results for uniform thickness, which is key to even cooking.
  4. Lay the sliced onions over the parmesan cheese in a single layer. Avoid overlapping the onions, as this will prevent them from getting crispy.
  5. Brush the onions gently with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to coat them evenly. This helps in achieving that golden color and crunch!
  6. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of paprika, 1 teaspoon of coarse sea salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of seasoning salt, and ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper over the onions. Adjust the spices according to your taste preferences.
  7. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the chips; they should turn golden brown and crisp. If you see any edges starting to darken too quickly, rotate the pan.
  8. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before breaking the chips apart. This cooling period helps them firm up even more, enhancing the crunch.

Keywords: Be cautious when slicing your onions; a mandolin can be sharp, so use the guard! For a flavor explosion, consider adding a sprinkle of cayenne or chili powder to the spice mix for a nice kick.
