These low carb onion ring chips are made with only 2 primary ingredients! They’re perfect for those onion ring cravings.
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 THIN into 1/4 inch rounds using a mandoline. Try to keep them intact rounds 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. Make sure you are using PARCHMENT PAPER for this recipe. Many readers feedback are using wax paper or aluminum foil and their food gets stuck onto the paper or foil.

We warm these up all the time if there are ever any leftovers. These will also serve great within a sandwich or as a burger topping!

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.

2 Ingredient Onion Ring Chips (Low Carb)
Ingredients
- 2 small white onions,, sliced 1/4 inch thin rounds
- 7 oz (198.45 g) shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tbs olive oil
- salt, garlic powder + paprika,, to taste
- serve with Lazy Tzatziki
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉. Line an 12×17 inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle the baking sheet with the cheese so that there is a thin even layer of cheese. Next, line up the onion ring slices so that they are not overlapping but right next to one another. Brush tops of onion rings with olive oil. Then season the tops with salt, garlic powder and paprika. Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes and then break apart to serve.
Notes
- Serves beautifully with my Lazy Tzatziki dip/sauce
- Make sure you use PARCHMENT PAPER. Aluminum foil or Wax paper WILL NOT WORK HERE.
- Make sure your onions are sliced thin.
They look delicious. Can we use an air fryer?
18 mins passed and the onions are whiter than before… 🤔
Hi Jorge, different ovens have different strengths. The recipe states a time but also a color and crispness to judge the doneness. I hope this helps!
I couldn’t get mine to be stiff and crisp like yours until I olive-oiled another sheet of parchment…put it over the 20 min baked onions/cheese..and flipped em…removed the previously bottom parchment sheet…then baked for another 1o minutes. Great simple recipe…I’ll be doing it again and again. Thank u!
This recipe calls for (6) ingredients. Thankfully they are common pantry items. I like 🧅 so IL give it a try.
Im going to try this! I love the concept. Does the kind of onion matter? I have sweet onions.
Delicious. The whole group loved them and devoured every morsel.
HI Lynn, I’m so glad you all loved the recipe! Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you for sharing the recipe! Would other cheeses work?
Thank you.
Hi Judith, I would use a combination of cheeses with the shredded parmesan – the parmesan texture is what keeps everything together and chip like when it bakes and then dries. I hope I’m communicating that! Thank you and enjoy!
I love receiving your daily recipes, this one includes. I love onion rings and will definitely try this one!
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for trying out my recipes! Cheers And enjoy!
a bit more than 2 ingredients but good
I get it. I didn’t read the whole article. Cant wait to try. Thx.
I’m lost, are we separating the onion rings or are we putting down solid slices?
solid slices
I’m gonna love this, can’t get the print button to work. Help!
I just found the recipe for your onion chips going to try for dinner tonight
Enjoy!
Recipe does not work as you cannot roast fresh onions into a crispy chip with only 15 minutes in the oven.
I love onions 🧅
