Category: Appetizer/Snack
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12-13 minutes
Total Time: 22-23 minutes
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:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease them.
2. Slice the onions into very thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick (you’ll need 16 slices total).
3. Arrange 8 small piles of shredded cheddar cheese on each baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
4. Place one onion round on top of each pile of cheese. Sprinkle evenly with ranch seasoning.
5. Bake for 11-13 minutes, watching closely towards the end so they don’t burn. They’re ready when crispy and lightly browned.
6. Let cool for 5-7 minutes before removing crisps from baking sheets.
7. 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.
