2-Ingredient Baked Onion And Cheese Chips
I’m so excited to share this easy keto snack recipe with you! These 2-ingredient baked onion and cheese chips are super simple to whip up, and they taste way better than any store-bought chips I’ve tried.
Why Will You Love this Recipe?
- It’s crazy easy to make. You only need two ingredients and about 15 minutes. Perfect for a quick snack or last-minute party treat!
- Keto-friendly and low-carb. These chips fit right into a keto lifestyle. They’re crispy, cheesy, and guilt-free!
- Incredibly flavorful. The onion and cheese combo is a match made in heaven. Each bite is savory and satisfying.
Recipe Variations
- Switch up the cheese. Try cheddar for a sharper flavor or mozzarella for a milder taste. Mix in some parmesan for extra umph!
- Add some spice. Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika before baking. It gives the chips a nice kick without overpowering them.
- Experiment with herbs. Toss in some dried thyme or rosemary for an herby twist. It adds a fun, earthy flavor to the mix.
Tools You’ll Need
- Baking sheet and parchment paper. These keep the chips from sticking and make cleanup a breeze. Parchment paper is a must for even baking.
- Cheese grater (if not pre-shredded). Grating your own cheese gives a fresher flavor. It melts better than the pre-shredded stuff.
- Sharp knife or mandoline. A mandoline makes slicing onions super thin and uniform. If you’re using a knife, just take your time for even slices.
FAQ
Can I Freeze These Chips?
You can freeze them, but they’re best fresh. If you freeze, place them in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
How Do I Store Them?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Any longer, and they might lose their crunch.
How Long Do They Last?
They’re good for about 2-3 days if stored properly. Reheat them in the oven for a minute to bring back the crisp.
What Should I Serve Them With?
These chips are great with a keto-friendly dip like guacamole or sour cream. They also pair well with a charcuterie board for a fun appetizer.
Are They Suitable for Every Diet?
These are perfect for keto and gluten-free diets but not vegan or paleo. The cheese makes them high in dairy, so they’re not suitable for dairy-free diets either.
Can I Use Different Onions?
Yes, red or yellow onions work great. Red onions add a slight sweetness, while yellow ones are more savory.
Can I Make Them in an Air Fryer?
You can! Cook at 375°F for about 8-10 minutes, checking to avoid burning.
