Ingredients
Scale
Onions:
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced into rings (approximately 450 grams / 16 ounces)
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Cooking Ingredient:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 milliliters / 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and heat the oven to 400F (200C), ensuring an optimal crisping environment.
- Combine thinly sliced onions with olive oil, seasoning thoroughly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to ensure uniform flavor distribution.
- Create a single layer of seasoned onion slices on the prepared baking sheet, maximizing surface area for even cooking.
- Generously distribute shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese across the onion layer, creating a rich, melty foundation.
- Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs over the cheese-covered onions to provide a delightful textural contrast and additional crunch.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, monitoring closely until edges transform to a golden-brown color and cheese becomes perfectly crisp.
- Remove from the oven and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch of color and herbaceous flavor.
- Allow the crisps to cool briefly, enabling the cheese to set and achieve maximum crunchiness before serving.
Notes
- Swap cheese for dietary needs by using nutritional yeast for vegan version or low-fat cheese for lighter option.
- Toast breadcrumbs separately before sprinkling to enhance crunchiness and prevent soggy texture.
- Cut onions uniformly thin for even cooking and consistent crispy results.
- Store leftovers in airtight container to maintain crispness, reheating briefly in oven to restore crunch.
