Ingredients
- Parmesan cheese, shredded – melts into a crispy, cheesy base with tons of flavor.
- White onion, finely sliced into rounds – I like to use white onion rather than yellow onion or red onion because it has a sweet, mild flavour. Thin slices on sweet onion crisp up beautifully.
- Olive oil, optional – adds a little richness and helps with crisping.
- Italian seasoning, optional – you can all kinds of seasoning! Traditional onion ring batter has: brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, Cayenne, smoked paprika, kosher salt and black pepper.
For a pizza twist, add:
- Mozzarella cheese, shredded – gives this recipe a gooey, cheesy texture.
- Pepperoni slices – for a fun twist that turns these into pizza-flavored chips!
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice entire onion very thinly. Use a mandolin if you have one.
3. Spread the cheese out evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Layer the onion slices on top in a single layer.
5. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning if desired.
6. If you’re going for the pizza version, add mozzarella and pepperoni slices to the top.
7. Bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes or until the cheese is golden and crispy.
Tips & Tricks
- Be sure to use thinly sliced onion as it will crisp up better than thick-cut slices.
- Add your favorite seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or even a little cayenne for a kick.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- If you want extra crunch, let the chips cool for a few minutes after baking before digging in.
- For an air fryer version, try cooking at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes! While parmesan works great for crispiness, you can experiment with cheddar, gouda, or even a spicy pepper jack.
How do I store leftover onion chips?
These are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a quick crisp-up.
Can I make these without cheese?
The cheese helps bind the chips together, but if you want a dairy-free version, try using nutritional yeast and baking at a lower temp for a longer time.
These viral onion chips are the perfect easy snack to satisfy your crunchy cravings. Whether you stick to the classic version or try the pizza twist, they’re guaranteed to be a hit! Next time you’re craving homemade onion rings, make these instead!
