Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Base

  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (Freshly grated for best results.)

Onions and Seasoning

  • 2 medium Yellow Onions (Sliced thinly, about 1/6 inch thick.)
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil (Can substitute with olive oil.)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (Adjust to taste.)
  • 1 teaspoon Coarse Sea Salt (Reduce if mindful of sodium.)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Or substitute with onion powder.)
  • 1 teaspoon Seasoning Salt (Homemade or store-bought.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper (Adjust based on palate.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare Parmesan Base: Spread the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on the parchment paper, creating a consistent layer that will serve as the crispy base for the chips.
  3. Slice and Arrange Onions: Thinly slice the yellow onions to about 1/6 inch thickness and arrange them in a single layer over the Parmesan cheese, making sure the slices do not overlap for even cooking.
  4. Brush with Oil: Generously brush the onion slices with avocado oil to enhance browning and flavor as they bake.
  5. Season the Onions: Sprinkle paprika, coarse sea salt, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and ground black pepper evenly over the brushed onions to infuse the chips with bold flavor.
  6. Bake the Chips: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring closely until the onion rings turn golden brown and crispy.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked onion ring chips to cool on the baking pan for about 10 minutes so they can set and crisp up further, then break them into chip-sized pieces for serving.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust paprika and seasoning amounts to suit your taste.
  • Keep a close eye while baking to prevent burning, especially towards the end of the cooking time.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • Can substitute avocado oil with olive oil if desired.
