Ingredients
Scale
Cheese
- 8 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Vegetables
- 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.
- Slice the Onions: Thinly slice 3 medium yellow onions to about ⅙ inch thick. Using a mandolin slicer will give the best, consistent thinness. Arrange the sliced onions in a single layer over the parmesan cheese layer.
- Brush with Oil: Brush the onion slices evenly with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. This helps them crisp up nicely in the oven.
- Season the Chips: Sprinkle a mixture of 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon seasoning salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper evenly over the coated onions to add depth of flavor.
- 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.
Notes
- Using a mandolin slicer results in uniformly thin onion slices for even baking.
- You can adjust the spices according to your taste preferences.
- Make sure to spread the parmesan cheese in a thin, even layer to ensure it crisps properly.
- Cooling the chips after baking is crucial for maximum crunchiness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
