I Just Discovered the "Most Delicious" Onion Hack
Sometimes, the best cooking trends are actually the simplest ones. When feta eggs went viral last year, people already had the ingredients on hand to make that cheesy breakfast. Then, shaved fruit took over TikTok, and all you needed was a Microplane. Now, there’s another easy and delicious hack that’s taking over social media, and you only need two staples.
On social media, a brilliant new hack is taking off — transforming onions into a delicious, cheesy, and crunchy chip. With just two ingredients and less than 30 minutes, you can pull off this savory snack that’s easy to make and packed with flavor.
Here’s how to make “onion ring chips,” as people on social media are calling them: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice a large onion using a mandoline or knife. Next, generously sprinkle Parmesan onto the baking sheet, then arrange the onion slices on top. (You can brush them with olive oil and season with your favorite spices at this point, too.) Bake for about 20 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy. Let them cool for a few minutes, then use a knife or pizza slicer to cut them into bite-sized chip pieces.
Of course, it doesn’t end there. This hack is super customizable. You don’t have to stick with yellow onions — if you prefer a sharper flavor, you can use red onions instead. When it comes to seasoning, think of these like potato chips — you can dust them with whatever spices you love. For a spicy kick, try cayenne pepper or harissa. For a tangy twist, finish them off with vinegar and flaky sea salt. If you’re into BBQ flavors, a dash of paprika, onion powder, and brown sugar will do the trick.
It’s no surprise that people on social media are loving this onion ring chip hack. When @kalejunkie, a recipe creator on Instagram, shared the tutorial, one person commented, “Omg these look so fun I gotta try it!” while another said, “Tested these out yesterday. Omg they’re so goooood.” Chances are, you already have an onion and some Parmesan in your kitchen, so if you’re curious, why not give this viral snack a try?
