Crispy Keto Onion Ring Chips
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion (sliced thin)
- 1 package shredded Parmesan cheese
- A drizzle of avocado oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic powder — a pinch
- Paprika — a pinch
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Base: Spread out the shredded Parmesan cheese evenly on the parchment paper — this will form the crispy, cheesy layer.
- Add the Onions: Lay thinly sliced onions on top of the Parmesan. Try not to overlap too much, so they crisp up evenly.
- Season: Drizzle lightly with avocado oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for that perfect flavor kick.
- Bake: Pop them in the oven and bake at 400°F for about 18 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden brown and the edges are crispy.
- Serve: Let them cool slightly (they crisp up even more as they cool!), then serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
🧅 Q&A About Crispy Keto Onion Ring Chips
1. Can I use a different type of cheese instead of Parmesan?
Yes! You can use shredded mozzarella or cheddar, but Parmesan gives the crispiest texture. Other cheeses may melt softer and be less crunchy.
2. How do I keep my onion chips crispy after baking?
Let them cool completely before storing, and keep them in an airtight container. You can also pop them back in the oven for 2–3 minutes to re-crisp if needed.
3. Can I make these in an air fryer?
Definitely! Just cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 8–10 minutes. Keep an eye on them — they crisp up faster than in the oven.
4. What dipping sauces go well with these chips?
They pair perfectly with ranch, garlic aioli, spicy mayo, or even a keto-friendly marinara sauce. You can also try sour cream with paprika for a smoky twist!
5. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Bake and cool them fully, then store in a sealed jar. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes before serving for that freshly crisp crunch.
These Low-Carb Onion Ring Chips are seriously addictive — crispy on the outside, savory and cheesy inside, and completely guilt-free. It’s everything you love about onion rings, minus the carbs.
