Crispy Baked Cheese Onion Rings (Only 2 Ingredients!)

Forget everything you know about making onion rings. This 2-ingredient oven hack skips the messy flour batter and deep frying entirely, using aged or Parmesan cheese to lock in a deeply savory, shatteringly crisp crust around the onions.

• Prep time: 5 minutes
• Bake time: 20 minutes
• Total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients
• 2 medium (regular) onions
• 75 grams aged cheese or Parmesan cheese (finely shredded)
• Optional: A pinch of paprika, garlic powder, or black pepper

Instructions
1. Preheat: Heat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice: Cut the 2 regular onions into rings.
3. Arrange: Spread the onion rings evenly across the baking sheet.
4. Cheesy layer: Top the rings with the 75 grams of shredded aged or Parmesan cheese. Make sure the cheese covers the rings well so it melts into a crispy shell.
5. Bake: Pop them in the oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is deeply golden and crispy.

Let them cool for a minute so the Parmesan or aged cheese hardens completely into that perfect crunch!
