Rebecca’s Recipe Review
Taste: The perfect mix of onion rings meets parmesan crisps. A slightly unctuous and salty flavor. If you don’t love a lot of salt, feel free to cut back on the seasoning.
Texture: Crispy with bites of soft onion.
Ease: 2/10
Pros: Incredible flavor with minimal ingredients – and keto for those who care!
Cons: Likely to shed a few tears in the process.
Would I Make This Again? Yes, although I will only make them when I have friends to help me eat them, I could easily devour the whole pan.
Ingredients For Onion Ring Chips
- Yellow Onions – Typically, onion rings are made with sweet onions such as Vidalia or Walla Walla but I really prefer this viral recipe using yellow onions instead. However, feel free to use your favorite onion variety when making these Onion Chips!
- Parmesan Cheese – Freshly grated works (and tastes!) best, but bagged shredded parmesan cheese will work too and save on prep.
- Avocado Oil – Used to brush on tops of the onion slices to crisp them up! Olive oil can also be used.
- Spices & Seasonings – I seasoned mine with paprika, coarse sea salt, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and ground black pepper. However, this recipe is super easy to customize so feel free to use seasonings and spices that you enjoy!
How To Make Viral Onion Ring Chips
- Preheat the oven and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Grate the block of parmesan cheese and then spread it in a thin layer over the parchment paper.
- Cut yellow onions into very thin slices and then lay them over the top of the layer of parmesan cheese in a single layer.
- Brush avocado oil over the thinly sliced onions.
- Sprinkle paprika, coarse sea salt, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and ground black pepper over the tops of the onions.
- Bake the Onion Ring Chips until they become golden brown and crispy. Then remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow them Onion Ring Chips to cool on the pan before breaking them up.
- Enjoy plain or with a dipping sauce.
- Parchment paper is a MUST when making this recipe to avoid a burnt mess on your baking sheet.
- Using a mandolin slicer works best to create nice, thin onion slices.
- Do not overlap or crowd the onion slices when arranging them on the baking sheet.
- It’s important to allow the Onion Chips to cool on the pan for about 10 minutes before enjoying. Doing so allows the melty cheese to firm up so that you can eat the crispy chips by hand.
- However, the chips do cool down pretty fast and can get soft as they rest. I recommend eating these within 1 hour of preparing.
How To Store Onion Ring Chips
Onion Ring Chips will have the best texture when eaten fresh from the oven the same day that they’re made! However, if you shockingly have leftovers of these delicious Onion Chips then you can transfer them into an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat the Onion Chips, transfer them onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and heat them in the oven. You can also reheat them in the air fryer just be sure to use an air fryer liner to prevent a cheesy mess!
