Sweet TX1015 Onions

Crispy Baked Onion Ring Chips

Ingredients

  • 1 large TX1015 Sweet Onion, cut into 1/8-inch thick slice (use a mandolin for best results)
  • 8 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Small drizzle of olive oil (about 1–2 teaspoons)
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • Ranch dressing, for serving
  • Chives (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove outer skin of TX1015 Sweet Onion, then using a mandolin slice onion into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
  3. On the parchment-lined baking sheet, create small mounds of Parmesan cheese (about 1 tablespoon each), spaced about 1 inch apart. Place one onion ring round on top of each mound and press it down gently.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the chipotle powder and salt.
  5. Lightly brush or rub each round with a bit of olive oil. Then, sprinkle a small pinch of the chipotle-salt mixture onto each round of onion.
  6. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cheddar cheese over each round.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and crispy and the onions are tender.
  8. Allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes to crisp up fully.
  9. Place on a plate and sprinkle with chopped chives.
  10. Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
