Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- baking sheets
Ingredients
- 2 white onions sliced to ¼-inch
- 1 ½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese the kind sold in tubs with a lid — skip the grated kind in the shaker
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Slice the onions into ¼-inch thick rings. Do not separate the rings within each slice.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of freshly shredded Parmesan cheese to the baking sheet, forming a small circle slightly larger than your onion ring.
- Press an onion ring into the cheese, then sprinkle another tablespoon of cheese on top to cover it completely. Each onion ring should be sandwiched between two layers of cheese.
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over each cheese-covered onion, then season with salt and pepper.
- Place the baking sheets on the middle rack and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
- Let the onion rings cool for a minute or two before moving them off the sheet. This helps the cheese firm up and hold its shape. These are best enjoyed hot out of the oven. Like fried onion rings, they lose their crispness as they cool, so serve them right away.
