Crispy Onion Ring Chips Recipe - Quick Appetizer Snacks
If you’re looking for a snack that’s crunchy, cheesy, and downright addictive, you’ve just found it—these Crispy Onion Ring Chips! Think of them as onion rings’ cooler, crispier cousin. They’ve got that savory onion flavor we all love, a punch of Parmesan, and just enough seasoning to keep you reaching for “just one more” (spoiler: you won’t stop at one).
These little beauties fall into that sweet spot of Hot Snacks—quick, easy, and absolutely perfect for game days, BBQs, or just hanging out on the couch. The best part? This isn’t your typical greasy fried onion situation. Nope. This chips recipe leans into the lighter side of snacking, making it a fun twist for anyone into veggie recipes or low-carb munchies.
Wanna know why they work so well? It’s all about balance. The onions bring that natural sweetness, the Parmesan adds salty crispiness, and a little smoked paprika? Total flavor bomb. And FYI, you can swap it with regular paprika if that’s what you’ve got lying around—no biggie.
Pro tip: check your onions around the 18-minute mark. Depending on how thick you sliced them (and whether you’re team “paper-thin” or “slightly chunky”), they may already be golden perfection. Oh, and IMO, a mandoline is your BFF here—uniform slices = even crispiness. Just don’t skip the cut-proof glove unless you enjoy surprise “finger chips.” (Kidding. Kind of.)
Serve these crispy bites with ranch, sour cream, or tzatziki, and boom—you’ve just nailed the ultimate appetizer snacks. Whether you want a unique side dish recipe, light summer recipe, or something new to add to your list of air fryer recipes easy, this one’s a keeper. Honestly, it’s one of the tastiest onion recipes you’ll ever make. So go ahead—ditch the bag of chips and whip these up instead.

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Servings: 4 | Author: Aleda | Category: Appetizer
Ingredients:
- 2 medium yellow onions
- 5 oz shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the onions very thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. For a mandoline, I used the 1/28th inch setting.
- Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan evenly over the prepared baking sheet to form a thin layer.
- Arrange the onion slices on top of the cheese in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
- Brush the onions lightly with olive oil. Then season with salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the Parmesan turns golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them—they can go from perfect to overdone quickly.
- Let the chips cool for a few minutes to firm up, then gently lift and serve as a crunchy snack or appetizer.
