Onion Rings
- 2 white onions, sliced into 1/4 inch thick rings
Cheese Coating
- 2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
Seasonings
- Salt, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
- Italian seasoning, to taste
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Create Cheese Mold: For each onion ring, place about 1 tablespoon of shredded parmesan cheese directly onto the parchment paper, forming a small circular base that will act as a mold for the onion ring.
- Place Onion Rings: Carefully set one onion ring slice on top of each parmesan base.
- Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle another tablespoon of shredded parmesan cheese over the top of each onion ring to cover it completely.
- Press Cheese Gently: Use the back of a spoon to gently press down on the cheese-covered onion ring to help the cheese adhere and flatten slightly.
- Season: Lightly season each onion ring with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning to add depth of flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the onion rings from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the cheese to set and become extra crispy before serving.
Notes
- Make sure onion slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
- You can customize seasonings as per your taste preference.
- Allow cooling properly to ensure maximum crispiness.
- These onion rings are best eaten fresh but can be stored briefly in an airtight container.
