Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced into rings (about 1/8-inch thick)
  • 1 cup (90g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (50g) panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of salt
  • Olive oil spray or melted butter (for coating tray and drizzling on top)
  • Optional: chili flakes or cayenne pepper for spice
  • Optional: herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley
  • Optional: smoked paprika
  • Optional: shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Peel and slice 2 large yellow onions into thin rings (about 1/8-inch thick). Separate the rings gently.
  3. Set up three dredging stations: In one bowl, whisk 2 eggs. In a second bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. In a third bowl, mix Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Working in batches, dip each onion ring first in the flour mixture (shake off excess), then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the Parmesan-panko mixture. Press the cheese mixture onto the rings so it sticks well.
  5. Place coated rings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
  6. Lightly spray or brush the rings with olive oil or melted butter.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Flip each ring carefully with tongs, then bake another 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and crisp (total bake time: 18-22 minutes).
  8. Let chips cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes; for extra crunch, move to a cooling rack. Serve hot.

Notes

For best results, grate your own Parmesan cheese and slice onions as thinly as possible. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—bake in batches if needed for maximum crispiness. Chips are best served fresh but can be re-crisped in the oven if needed. For gluten-free, use almond flour and gluten-free panko. For extra crunch, finish under the broiler for 30 seconds.
