Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 white onions (sliced into 1/4 inch thick rings)
  • 2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
  • Salt, garlic powder, and paprika, Italian seasoning (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Create cheese mold: For each onion ring, start by adding about 1 tablespoon of shredded parmesan directly onto the parchment paper to create a small cheese “mold.”
  3. Place onion slice: Place an onion slice on top of the cheese.
  4. Add more cheese: Add another tablespoon of shredded parmesan over the onion ring.
  5. Press down: Gently press down with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly and help the cheese stick.
  6. Season: Season the tops with salt, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
  7. Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and crisp around the edges.
  8. Cool: Allow to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving so the onion rings can set and get extra crispy.

Notes

  • Allow the onion rings to cool for 10–15 minutes after baking so they can set and become extra crispy.
