Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 white onions sliced into 1/4 inch thick rings and separated
  • 2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat onion rings dry with paper towels.
  3. For each onion ring, scatter 1 tbsp shredded parmesan into a loose circle on the parchment.
  4. Set 1 onion ring on the cheese, then top with 1 tbsp shredded parmesan.
  5. Press gently with the back of a spoon so the cheese hugs the onion and fills gaps.
  6. Season the tops lightly with salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese is deeply golden and crisp at the edges.
  8. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes to set and crisp, then lift with a thin spatula and serve.

Notes

- Do not crowd the pan; space rings apart to prevent steaming and pale bottoms.
- Keep salt modest since parmesan is salty; seasoning on top helps prevent scorching.
- Cooling is required for maximum crisp; the cheese firms as it rests.
- Store leftover rings airtight in the refrigerator for 2 days and reheat on parchment at 400°F for 5 minutes.
