Ingredients
- 2 large onions, sliced into rings
- 1 to 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (or any seasoning of choice)
Instructions
- Prepare the Onions: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the onions into rings about ⅛ inch thick. Separate the rings carefully to keep them intact.
- Season the Onion Rings: Arrange the onion rings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle Creole seasoning evenly over the onion rings to add a flavorful kick.
- Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the seasoned onion rings, ensuring an even coverage so each chip gets a cheesy layer.
- Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starts to bubble and turn golden brown, and the onions become tender and slightly crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. This helps the cheese crisp up further, making the chips easier to handle. Serve warm or at room temperature as a tasty snack.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the chips for 1-2 minutes at the end, but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, or chili flakes.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for a richer flavor.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
