I am always on the hunt for easy snack recipes and the idea of these Cheesy Onion Crisps immediately caught my eye. They’re made with just a handful of ingredients and bake up in less than 15 minutes– can’t beat that. Perfect for a quick savory snack and easy to customize to your liking. We dipped ours in marinara sauce and the results were delicious!
For such a yummy treat, the process here is pretty straightforward. You’ll slice those onions into very thin rounds and place them on top of piles of shredded cheese. We’ve gone with cheddar, but other hard cheeses would work as well. Sprinkle the top with ranch reasoning or another flavor like Cajun or Italian. Pop them in the oven for about 12 minutes, or until they’re nice and crispy. You will want to watch them closely near the end because they can burn in the blink of an eye.
