- Serve these chips with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch or spicy mayo for extra flavor.
Storage

FAQs
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Parmesan works best for crisping due to its low moisture content. Hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano can be used as a substitute, but soft cheeses won’t yield the same crunchy texture.
What if I don’t have avocado oil?
Any neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable or canola oil, can be used instead. Olive oil is also an option but may add a stronger flavor.

- 3 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced (about ⅙ inch thick)
Seasonings and Oil
- 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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Parmesan Base: Grate 8 ounces of parmesan cheese and spread it evenly in a thin layer over the parchment paper on the baking pan. This will serve as the flavorful base for the onion rings.

- Bake Until Crispy: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the onion chips turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them near the end to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chips to cool on the pan for 10 minutes after baking. This helps them crisp up even further before you break them into pieces and enjoy your crunchy snack.
