Ingredients
Scale
Onion Rings
- 2 white onions, sliced into 1/4 inch thick rings
Coating & Seasoning
- 2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
- Italian seasoning, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Create cheese molds: Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded Parmesan cheese onto the parchment paper for each onion ring, forming small cheese circles that will act as the base.
- Add onion rings: Place a sliced onion ring directly on top of each cheese circle on the baking sheet.
- Top with more cheese: Spoon another tablespoon of shredded Parmesan cheese over each onion ring to cover the top and help form a crispy crust.
- Press gently: Use the back of a spoon to gently press down each onion ring and cheese layer to flatten slightly, ensuring the cheese sticks well and forms a solid crust.
- Season: Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning evenly over the top of each onion ring for enhanced flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- Cool and set: Remove from the oven and let the onion rings cool for 10–15 minutes so they can set properly and become extra crispy before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm onions for best results and easy slicing.
- Make sure to slice the onions evenly to ensure uniform baking time.
- Allow the onion rings to cool completely on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Feel free to customize the seasoning blends according to your taste preferences.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
