Crispy Onion Cheddar Chips 🧅🧀
A crunchy, savory snack with caramelized onions and sharp cheddar—perfect for game day or guilt-free munching!
Ingredients (Makes ~2 cups)
-
1 large onion, thinly sliced (yellow or sweet)
-
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 tbsp all-purpose flour (or almond flour for keto)
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp smoked paprika
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
Pinch of salt
-
Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Onions:
-
Toss sliced onions with flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
2️⃣ Mix in Cheese:
-
Add cheddar and Parmesan, combining well so the cheese coats the onions.
3️⃣ Form Clusters:
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease.
-
Drop small mounds (about 1 tbsp each) of the mixture onto the sheet, spacing them apart.
4️⃣ Bake Until Crispy:
-
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 mins, or until golden and crispy at the edges.
-
Let cool 5 mins—they’ll crisp up further as they set.
Tips for Perfection
🔥 Extra crunch: Broil for 1–2 mins at the end (watch closely!).
🌿 Herb twist: Add ½ tsp dried thyme or rosemary for depth.
🍕 Spicy kick: Sprinkle with cayenne or chili flakes before baking.
Serve with ranch, sour cream, or spicy mayo for dipping! Great as a salad topper or soup garnish too. 😋
