Crispy Parmesan Onion Ring Chips
Light, crunchy, and irresistibly cheesy, these onion ring chips deliver all the flavor of onion rings in a crisp, snackable form.
Perfect for movie nights, appetizers, or topping burgers and casseroles.
Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onions sliced into thin rings
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- Optional: pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Peel onions and slice into thin, even rings; separate layers and pat dry.
- Place rings in a bowl and lightly coat with olive oil.
- In another bowl, mix parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper, and salt.
- Dip each ring in the parmesan mixture, pressing to help it stick.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Arrange rings in a single layer without overlapping.
- Bake 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Cool 5 minutes on the tray to firm up, then serve.
Notes
Freshly grated parmesan browns and crisps better than pre-shredded.
If chips soften, bake a few extra minutes to re-crisp.
Smoked paprika adds depth but can be swapped for regular.
Thinner onion rings = crunchier chips.
