Introduction

These TikTok Onion Ring Chips are a crispy, flavorful twist on classic onion rings. Made with thinly sliced onions layered over parmesan cheese and baked to golden perfection, they’re an addictive snack or side dish that’s easy to prepare at home.

A round white plate holds a ring of crispy golden-brown onion slices, each slice showing clear concentric layers with a slightly charred, bubbly, and crispy cheese edge surrounding it. The onion slices are sprinkled with finely chopped green herbs. In the center of the plate, there is a small white bowl filled with a creamy white dipping sauce topped with small green herb pieces. The plate sits on a white marbled textured surface, with a blue cloth partially visible at the bottom left. In the background, there is a smaller white plate with a few more onion slices and some green herb sprigs nearby. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

8 ounces parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
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 the oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 2: Grate the parmesan cheese and spread it evenly in a thin layer over the parchment paper on the baking pan.
Step 3: Slice the yellow onions very thinly, about ⅙ inch wide. Using a mandolin slicer will help achieve the best results. Lay the onion slices in a single layer over the parmesan cheese.
Step 4: Brush the onions evenly with avocado oil to coat them.
Step 5: Sprinkle paprika, coarse sea salt, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and ground black pepper evenly over the onions.
Step 6: Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the onion rings are golden brown and crispy. Allow to cool on the pan for 10 minutes before breaking into chips and serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, use freshly grated parmesan rather than pre-shredded cheese, which often contains additives.
Adjust the paprika and seasoning salt amounts to suit your spice preference.
Try substituting avocado oil with olive oil or melted butter for a different flavor profile.
Use red onions instead of yellow for a sweeter taste and a pop of color.

Storage

Store leftover onion ring chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To re-crisp, place them briefly under a hot oven or in a toaster oven for a few minutes. Avoid refrigerating as this may cause them to lose their crunch.

How to Serve

A white round plate on a white marbled surface holds crispy golden brown onion slices arranged in a circle around a white bowl filled with creamy white sauce sprinkled with small green herbs. Each onion slice has a crispy textured edge with a slightly caramelized look, topped lightly with finely chopped green herbs. There is a separate small white plate nearby with more onion slices, and a light wooden pepper grinder and a sprig of fresh green parsley are also visible on the marbled surface, with a blue cloth partially tucked under the main plate.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Layer

8 ounces parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

Onion Layer

3 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced (approximately ⅙ inch wide)
2 tablespoons avocado oil

Seasonings

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: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
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 pan. This will form the crispy base for your chips.
Slice the Onions: Using a sharp knife or mandolin slicer, slice the 3 medium yellow onions very thinly, about ⅙ inch wide, ensuring uniform thickness for even baking. Arrange the onion slices in a single layer on top of the parmesan cheese.
Oil the Onions: Brush the onion slices evenly with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. This adds flavor and helps the seasonings stick while promoting crispiness during baking.
Season the Chips: Sprinkle 2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon seasoning salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper across the onion slices to season evenly.
Bake Until Crisp: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the onion rings and parmesan base turn golden brown and crispy.
Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the chips cool on the pan for 10 minutes. Once cooled, break up the crispy onion ring chips and enjoy immediately or store for later.

Notes

For best results, use a mandolin slicer to get uniformly thin onion slices.
You can adjust the seasoning amounts to your taste preferences.
These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Avocado oil can be substituted with olive oil or any neutral oil if unavailable.
Ensure the parmesan is freshly grated for optimal melting and crispiness.
