Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
  • 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, shredded or grated
  • 1 drizzle olive oil
  • Greek seasoning, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Slice Onions: Thinly slice the onion into 1/4 inch rings using a sharp knife or mandoline for uniform thickness, which ensures even cooking.
  3. Layer Cheese and Onions: Spread an even layer of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese over the prepared baking sheet. Then, place the onion rings on top, arranging them closely side by side for even crisping.
  4. Season and Oil: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each onion ring and sprinkle Greek seasoning to taste. This adds flavor and helps the chips crisp up nicely.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese melts and turns golden brown and the onions become crisp.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the onion ring chips cool for about 10 minutes to firm up. Serve with dips like sour cream, cilantro lime crema, French onion dip, or tzatziki for an added burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Using a mandoline ensures evenly sliced onion rings for consistent baking.
  • Keep a close eye during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning as cheese can turn quickly from golden to burnt.
  • These chips are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispiness, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Feel free to experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika or Italian herbs for variety.
