TikTok Onion Ring Chips Recipe

Introduction

TikTok Onion Ring Chips are a crispy, flavorful snack that combines the sharpness of parmesan with the sweetness of thinly sliced onions. This easy baked recipe transforms simple ingredients into a crunchy treat perfect for sharing or enjoying solo.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 3 yellow onions (medium)
• 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

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Grate the parmesan cheese and spread it evenly in a thin layer over the parchment paper on the baking pan.
3. Step 3: Slice the yellow onions very thinly, about ⅙ inch wide. Using a mandoline slicer works best for even slices. Arrange the onion slices in a single layer over the parmesan cheese.
4. Step 4: Brush the onions gently with the avocado oil to coat them evenly.
5. Step 5: Sprinkle paprika, coarse sea salt, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and ground black pepper over the onions to distribute the flavors evenly.
6. Step 6: Bake the layers in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy.
7. Step 7: Remove the pan from the oven and let the chips cool for about 10 minutes on the pan before breaking them into pieces and serving.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, make sure the onion slices are as thin and even as possible.
• Swap avocado oil for olive oil if preferred, but keep the amount light to avoid sogginess.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
• Try using smoked paprika for a deeper, smoky flavor.

Storage

Store leftover onion ring chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain their crispness. Avoid refrigerating as the chips may become soggy. To re-crisp, briefly warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 3–5 minutes.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

• 3 medium yellow onions, very thinly sliced (about ⅙ inch wide)

• ½ teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste)

Instructions

6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the onion rings and parmesan cheese are golden brown and crispy.
7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chip layer cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, break into individual chips and enjoy your crispy TikTok Onion Ring Chips.

Notes

• For best results, use freshly grated parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated to help with melting and crisping.
• Slicing onions thinly and evenly is key; a mandoline slicer is highly recommended.
• Adjust seasoning amounts to your taste preferences, especially the salt and paprika for desired spice and saltiness.
• Store any leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness, but best enjoyed fresh.
• These chips are naturally gluten-free and vegetarian friendly.
