Ingredients
Onions
- 2 white onions, sliced into 1/4 inch thick rings
Cheese and Seasonings
- 2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
- Italian seasoning, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
- Create Cheese Mold: For each onion ring, place about 1 tablespoon of shredded parmesan cheese onto the parchment paper to form a small, circular base that will act as a cheese mold.
- Assemble Onion Rings: Place one onion slice on top of the parmesan cheese mold.
- Top with Parmesan: Add another tablespoon of shredded parmesan cheese over the onion slice and gently press down with the back of a spoon to flatten the cheese slightly, helping it adhere to the onion ring.
- Season: Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning on top to add savory flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the parmesan cheese turns golden and the edges become crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Let the onion rings cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes to allow them to set and become extra crispy before serving.
Notes
- One serving equals approximately 4 to 5 onion rings, depending on the thickness of the onion slices and amount of cheese used.
- For best results, use fresh parmesan cheese and ensure onion slices are evenly thick.
- Adjust seasonings according to personal taste preferences.
- These onion rings are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispiness.
