Servings: This recipe makes about 16 cheesy onion crisps
Ingredients:
- 3 large sweet onions
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tsp ranch seasoning or seasoning of choice
- Ranch or marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease them.
- Slice the onions into very thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick (you’ll need 16 slices total).
- Arrange 8 small piles of shredded cheddar cheese on each baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
- Place one onion round on top of each pile of cheese. Sprinkle evenly with ranch seasoning.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, watching closely towards the end so they don’t burn. They’re ready when crispy and lightly browned.
- Let cool for 5-7 minutes before removing crisps from baking sheets.
- Serve warm with ranch or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes:
- Use a very sharp knife or mandoline to slice onions evenly and thinly for optimal crispiness.
- Watch closely while baking – crisps can go from golden to burnt quickly.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from sheets to allow crisps to fully firm up.
- Reheat at 400°F (200°C) for 2-3 minutes until hot and crispy.
