Onion Ring Chips with Cheddar Cheese

Prep: 10 min Cook: 15 min Total: 25 min Serves 4 Easy

Viral cheesy onion-ring chips: scatter mozzarella and parmesan on parchment, lay onion rings on top, season, and bake at 200°C for 15 minutes — then cool 10 minutes so they set into shatter-able chips. Serve with a minty yogurt dip.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Line a baking tray with parchment. Grate a generous layer of mozzarella directly onto the parchment and spread evenly.

  2. 2

    Place onion rings on top of the cheese layer. Cover with finely grated parmesan. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and garlic powder.

  3. 3

    Bake at 200°C / 390°F for 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes — that’s when everything crisps up beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why let them cool for 10 minutes before eating?

Straight from the oven the melted mozzarella and parmesan are soft and bendy; they only set into crisp, snap-able chips as they cool. Skip the rest and they will be chewy rather than crunchy.

Which cheeses crisp up best?

A mozzarella base gives stretch and a layer of finely grated parmesan forms the crisp, golden frico edge. Grate your own — pre-shredded cheese with anti-caking starch can stay rubbery instead of crisping.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Yes. Line the basket with parchment, build the same cheese-and-onion layer, and air-fry at 180°C for about 8–10 minutes, then cool. Watch closely — cheese browns faster in an air fryer than in the oven.
