Description
An incredibly crunchy and savory low-carb snack, these Keto Parmesan Onion Ring Chips are baked to perfection with thinly sliced onions enveloped in a crispy Parmesan crust.
Ingredients
8 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 medium yellow onions
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
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into rings, about â…›-inch thick. Separate the rings and set aside.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the paprika, coarse sea salt, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 4: In a large bowl, toss the onion rings with avocado oil until lightly coated. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the onions and toss again to ensure even coating.
Step 5: On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the seasoned onion rings in a single layer. Try not to overlap them too much to ensure even crisping.
Step 6: Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese generously over each onion ring, ensuring the cheese covers the onion and forms a perimeter for a crisp 'chip' effect.
Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the Parmesan is golden brown and crispy, and the onions are tender. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Step 8: Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, the chips will crisp up even further. Serve immediately or store for later.
Notes
For extra crispiness, ensure your onion slices are very thin. You can use a mandoline for uniform slices. If your chips aren't fully crispy after cooling, you can pop them back into the oven for 5-10 minutes at a lower temperature (around 250°F / 120°C) until they reach your desired crispness.
