Description

Ingredients
Cheese
- 8 ounces parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
Vegetables
- 3 medium yellow onions (very thinly sliced, about ⅙ inch)
Oils & Spices
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 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
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the parmesan base: Grate 8 ounces of fresh parmesan cheese and spread it evenly in a thin layer over the parchment paper on the baking sheet. This will form a crispy cheese crust underneath the onions.
- Slice the onions: Use a sharp knife or mandolin to slice 3 medium yellow onions very thinly, approximately ⅙ inch thick. Arrange the slices in a single layer evenly over the parmesan cheese to ensure even baking and crispiness.
- Brush with oil: Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the onion slices with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to help with browning and crisping during baking.
- Season the onions: Sprinkle 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon seasoning salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper evenly over the onions to infuse them with bold flavor.
- Bake until crispy: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the onions turn golden brown and crispy. Let the chips cool on the pan for 10 minutes before breaking them into pieces and serving.
Notes
- For best results, use a mandolin slicer to achieve uniform thin onion slices for even cooking.
- You can adjust the spices to your taste, adding more paprika or garlic powder as desired.
- Make sure to let the chips cool completely on the pan to allow them to crisp up fully before breaking apart.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness; they are best eaten within 1-2 days.
- If you prefer a different flavor profile, sprinkle chili powder or Italian seasoning instead of paprika for variation.
