This onion rings chips recipe is relatively simple, but it relies on the two main ingredients to make it work: onion and cheese. While this may not seem to offer much opportunity for switching things up, there are several ways you can add your own spin to these crunchy allium chips. Instead of simply using Parmesan for this recipe, you can mix the Parmesan with a variety of different cheeses to produce different flavors. We recommend adding cheeses like cheddar and Gruyère, which will reliably brown and crisp up when baked in the oven alongside the Parmesan.

Another simple way to adapt this onion rings chips recipe is by switching up the toppings. You can add some different spices and herbs according to your preferences; paprika or mixed Italian herbs make great additions to these chips. However, feel free to think a little bigger if you want, and imagine these chips a little like an ultra-thin pizza base. If you like a little heat, why not sprinkle over some chili flakes or even some slices of jalapeño? Alternatively, you can add some pepperoni slices or crumble over some crispy bacon to add a meaty twist to these chips. The important thing to remember is that whatever you choose to add to your onion rings chips, make sure not to add too much moisture, or else the cheese won’t transform into the beautiful crisp base you need to make these onion rings chips a winner.

This onion rings chips recipe is a great little number to keep under your belt for those days when you are craving something to snack on that is both savory and mouthwatering. While it can be great to plan ahead when it comes to meal prep, and it is something we heartily recommend for certain dishes, these onion rings chips are not a recipe that can be made in advance. Once baked and freshly cooled from the oven, the Parmesan layer is delightfully crisp and crunchy; however, if you leave these onion rings chips out for too long, or attempt to store them in the fridge, moisture will cause the chips to become limp and soggy, making them less than desirable. While it is possible to reheat the chips in the oven to get a little of the crisp back, it isn’t possible to fully restore them to their former glory.

So, if you know that you plan to rustle up this recipe in the coming week, stick with keeping the onions whole and the Parmesan in the fridge until you feel the urge strike. After all, it only takes 35 minutes from start to finish to assemble and bake these onion rings chips, and you’ll get to enjoy them at their very best.
