FAQs
Can I use other types of cheese instead of parmesan?
Parmesan works best for its crisping quality and flavor, but you can experiment with other hard cheeses like Asiago or Pecorino Romano for a similar effect.
Will these chips stay crispy if refrigerated?
Refrigeration can make them lose their crispiness and become chewy. It’s best to store them at room temperature and reheat if necessary to restore crunch.

Ingredients
Cheese
- 8 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Vegetables
- 3 medium yellow onions, sliced very thin (about 1/6 inch wide)
Oil & Seasonings
- 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 Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to facilitate even baking.
- Spread Parmesan Cheese: Grate 8 ounces of parmesan cheese freshly and spread it evenly in a thin layer over the parchment paper on the baking sheet.
- Prepare Onions: Slice the three yellow onions very thinly, approximately 1/6 inch wide. For best results, use a mandolin slicer to achieve consistent thin slices. Lay the onion slices in a single layer over the parmesan cheese on the baking sheet.
- Brush with Oil: Using a brush, evenly coat the onion slices with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. This will help the onions crisp up and brown nicely in the oven.
- Season the Onions: Sprinkle evenly over the onions 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon seasoning salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the onion chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye toward the end of baking to avoid burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the tray from the oven and let the onion ring chips cool on the pan for 10 minutes to firm up and become crispier. Once cooled, break into pieces and serve.
Notes
- Using a mandolin slicer for the onions ensures uniformly thin slices that cook evenly.
- Monitor the baking time closely as oven temperatures may vary; chips can burn quickly once golden brown.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain crispness.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Parmesan cheese provides natural crispiness and a savory flavor, making these chips gluten-free and grain-free.
