Crispy Onion Cheddar Chips: Easy, Cheesy Snack Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup crispy fried onions (like French’s)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking.
- Mix the shredded cheddar, crispy onions, garlic powder, and black pepper in a bowl until well combined. This blend creates a savory, crunchy base for your chips.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the baking sheet, spacing them out to ensure even crisping. Gently flatten each mound for maximum crunch.
- Bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a paper towel to drain excess oil and crisp up fully. This step ensures your chips stay crunchy.
Tips
- Want a spicy kick? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra layer of flavor.
- Store in an airtight container once completely cooled to maintain freshness and crispiness.
Note: These crispy onion cheddar chips are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For extra crispiness, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before serving. Perfect for parties, game nights, or a quick snack!
Enjoy!
