Onion Cheddar Snacks (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Items
01 -
2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar (or pepper jack if you like it spicy)
02 -
2-3 large sweet onions, like Vidalia or Walla Walla, sliced into thin rings
→ Spices
03 -
1 tsp smoked paprika
04 -
2 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
→ Dipping Options
05 -
Marinara sauce or ranch dressing to dunk
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F. Cover your baking sheets with parchment and mist lightly with cooking spray so nothing sticks to them.
02 -
Grab your sweet onions and cut them into thin rounds, around 1/4 inch thick. You'll need 16 slices. A mandoline can make this job super quick and even.
03 -
On each sheet, make 8 separate heaps of shredded cheese, spaced a few inches away from each other. Press an onion ring into the top of each little pile, then sprinkle with your mixed ranch seasoning and paprika.
04 -
Pop the trays in the oven and bake for 11-13 minutes. Check them a few minutes before they're done so they don’t burn. You'll know they’re ready when the edges turn crispy and lightly golden.
05 -
Leave the crisps to cool directly on the baking sheets for 5-7 minutes so they firm up. Use a spatula to gently pick them up, then enjoy them warm with your favorite dip.
# Notes:
01 -
These onion crisps are the perfect snack for a cozy movie night or a crowd-pleasing party treat.
02 -
Sweet onions turn wonderfully caramelized as they bake, pairing perfectly with crispy, melty cheese.
