Ingredients

Choosing fresh, high-quality ingredients is key to getting those bold flavors just right. I always pick sweet, firm onions — they caramelize beautifully and marry well with the Parmesan. For the cheese, freshly grated Parmesan adds a depth of flavor that pre-grated versions just can’t match. When it comes to the coating, a mix of breadcrumbs and a hint of seasoning really makes these chips pop.

  • 2 large sweet onions (like Vidalia or Walla Walla), thinly sliced into rings
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for baking

If you’re short on Parmesan, Pecorino Romano is a tasty substitute, and for a gluten-free option, swap panko for almond meal or gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Separate the onion slices into individual rings, discarding the very small ones that might fall apart.
  3. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and set aside.
  4. In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well so the seasoning is evenly distributed.
  5. Dip each onion ring first into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Place coated rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to encourage crispness.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them after 12 minutes to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving to lock in that perfect crunch.
