Crispy and flavorful TikTok Onion Ring Chips made by baking thinly sliced onions layered over parmesan cheese, seasoned with paprika and garlic powder, perfect for a crunchy, cheesy snack.
Ingredients
Cheese
- 8 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Vegetables
- 3 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 1/6 inch thick)
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate cleanup.
- Prepare Parmesan Base: Grate 8 ounces of fresh parmesan cheese and spread it evenly in a thin layer over the parchment paper on the baking pan.
- Slice Onions: Thinly slice 3 medium yellow onions into pieces approximately 1/6 inch thick, using a mandolin slicer if possible for uniform slices.
- Layer Onions: Arrange the thin onion slices evenly over the parmesan cheese layer in a single layer to ensure even crisping.
- Brush with Oil: Lightly brush the onion slices with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to help them brown and crisp in the oven.
- Season: Sprinkle 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 onions for maximum flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the onion chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the pan for about 10 minutes to set their crispiness before breaking them into pieces and enjoying.
Notes
- For best results, use a mandolin to slice onions uniformly.
- Adjust seasoning amounts based on your taste preference.
- Ensure the onion slices are in a single layer to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Allow chips to cool completely to retain their crunch before storing or serving.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
