INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Onions: Thinly slice the onions into rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference. It's important to slice them thinly to ensure they crisp up evenly in the oven.
- Toss with Olive Oil: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced onions with olive oil until they are evenly coated. The olive oil helps the onions crisp up and adds flavor to the chips.
- Season: Season the onions with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add additional seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or onion powder for extra flavor if desired.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned onion slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the onion slices. The cheese will melt and become crispy, adding a delicious layer of flavor and texture to the chips.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and crispy around the edges, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the Onion Cheddar Chips from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Transfer them to a serving platter or bowl and serve them warm or at room temperature.
- Enjoy: Serve the Onion Cheddar Chips as a standalone snack or pair them with your favorite dips and spreads, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream and onion dip
