2 Ingredient Onion Ring Chips (Low Carb)
When I was a little girl, I loved getting onion rings at my dad’s diner. Now that I’m older I make these 2 ingredient onion ring chips and love every bite! They are super low carb and 100 percent delicious.
This onion ring recipe is super straightforward. Slice your onion into 1/4 inch rounds using a mandoline. Try to keep them intact as you can see in the photo above. Sprinkle the parchment lined medium sized baking sheet with the shredded parmesan. You can also use a combination of parmesan and mozzarella here.
Lightly brush or spray the onion rings with olive oil – do not over saturate the onions. Seasoning is also simple with some salt, garlic powder and paprika for color.
We warm these up all the time if there are ever any leftovers.
The ideal chip deserves an equally delicious dip. That’s why we made my Lazy Tzatziki Dip for these onion ring chips. You can also make a combination of mayo, sriracha and lime juice. If you like this recipe, you will love my 2 Ingredient Crispy Parmesan Potato Chips or my Crispy Parmesan Mushroom Chips.

My family loved these. I made them per the directions and they turned out perfectly. We had them as an accompaniment to hamburgers and missed the french fries slightly less. 🙂 Thank you!
HI Rachel, thanks for trying them ouot and I’m so glad the whole family enjoyed em in the burgers!
I love your recipes and have tried many of them quite successfully.
But not this one… I checked all those reviews (some are raiting without trying out..?)
and noticed many of them, including me, had the same problme.. ‘not crispy’
So I did a little research:
[If your baked onions aren’t crisping up, it’s likely due to a few factors, including using thick slices, not properly seasoning, or not baking at a high enough temperature.
Here’s a breakdown of potential reasons and how to fix them:]
1. Incorrect Slice Thickness:
Problem: Thick onion slices won’t crisp up well because they retain too much moisture and take longer to cook.
Solution: Aim for thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick.
2. Insufficient Seasoning:
Problem:
Onions need seasoning to help draw out moisture and develop a good flavor and crisp texture.
Solution:
Season generously with salt and pepper, and consider adding other spices like garlic powder or paprika.
3. Low Baking Temperature:
Problem: Baking at too low a temperature won’t allow the onions to properly caramelize and crisp.
Solution: Preheat your oven to at least 425°F (220°C).
4. Overcrowding the Baking Sheet:
Problem: If the baking sheet is too crowded, the onions will steam instead of crisping up.
Solution: Ensure the onions are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
5. Not Baking Long Enough:
Problem:
Onions need time to caramelize and crisp, so don’t take them out of the oven too early.
Solution:
Bake until they are tender and golden brown, which can take 25 to 30 minutes.
6. Incorrect Oil Use:
Problem: Using too much oil, or the wrong type of oil, can make the onions soggy.
Solution: Use a light coating of oil, and consider using
a high-heat oil like vegetable or canola oil.

So I look at #1 & 3, which are your instruction might need to be fixed.
– Slicing onion: 1/4 inch is not thin enough while you use slicer to make them very thin?
– 400F may not be high enough..?
I’m doing this not only for me but many others that did not experience crispy onion.
No offense at all! Because you’re the star!!
Would a silicone baking sheet work for this?
Yes!
Haven’t tried this yet.. but what temp & cook time would you recommend for trying it out in the air fryer?!
Thank you!
