TikTok Onion Ring Chips are a crispy and flavorful snack made by layering thinly sliced onions over a bed of parmesan cheese, seasoned with a blend of spices, and baked to golden perfection. These chips deliver a savory, cheesy crunch with a smoky paprika kick, making them an addictive treat perfect for parties or a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Cheese Layer

  • 8 ounces parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

Onion Layer

  • 3 medium yellow onions, very thinly sliced (about 1/6 inch wide)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

Seasonings

  • 2 teaspoons paprika (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare parmesan layer: Grate 8 ounces of parmesan cheese freshly and spread it in a thin, even layer over the parchment paper on the baking pan.
  3. Slice and arrange onions: Slice the yellow onions very thinly, ideally using a mandolin for uniform thickness (about 1/6 inch wide). Lay the onion slices in a single layer evenly over the parmesan cheese layer.
  4. Brush with oil: Generously brush the onion slices with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to ensure crispiness and proper roasting.
  5. Add seasoning: Evenly sprinkle the 2 teaspoons of paprika, 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon seasoning salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper over the top of the onions for a balanced and aromatic flavor profile.
  6. Bake until crispy: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the onion rings and parmesan cheese are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the pan for about 10 minutes, allowing them to crisp up further. Once cooled, break them up gently and enjoy your homemade TikTok Onion Ring Chips!

Notes

  • For best results, use a mandolin to slice the onions very thinly and uniformly to ensure even baking.
  • Avocado oil is preferred for its high smoke point and neutral flavor, but you can substitute with another mild oil like grapeseed or olive oil.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities to your taste preference, especially the salt and paprika.
  • If you prefer a sharper cheese flavor, try mixing parmesan with a bit of pecorino romano.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispiness, but these chips are best enjoyed fresh.
