Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Prepare the onions by thinly slicing them into rounds or half-moons.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced onions with olive oil until evenly coated. This step ensures the onions crisp up nicely during baking and adds flavor.
Step 4
Season the onions with salt and pepper to taste, along with any additional desired seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or onion powder.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned onion slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the onion slices, creating a delightful cheesy topping.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and crispy around the edges, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Once baked, remove the Onion Cheddar Chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Step 9
Transfer the chips to a serving platter or bowl, and serve warm or at room temperature.
Step 10
Enjoy your 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.
