Scale
Ingredients
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced into rings
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (or any preferred seasoning blend)
Instructions
- Prepare the Onions: Peel and thinly slice the onions into rings, making sure they are separated into individual loops to ensure even cooking.
- Season the Onion Rings: Place the onion rings in a bowl and sprinkle the Creole seasoning evenly over them. Toss gently to coat all rings with the seasoning for a flavorful base.
- Add Cheese Topping: Transfer the seasoned onion rings onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface. Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the onion rings to create a cheesy crust when cooked.
- Bake the Chips: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the onion rings with cheddar cheese for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden, and the onions become crispy at the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool slightly so they firm up further. Serve warm as a delicious savory snack or side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pat the onion rings dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
- You can substitute Creole seasoning with paprika, chili powder, or your favorite spice blend.
- Use sharp cheddar for a more intense cheese flavor or mild cheddar for a creamier taste.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
