]]> Potato chips are the favorite snack for many people. They are crispy, salty, and downright delicious. However, they are also loaded with carbs and unhealthy fats, making them a very bad choice if you want to keep a healthy diet. Luckily, there is a great low-carb alternative to potato chips that is just as delicious: onion chips. You can make them by yourself and they only require two ingredients.

How to Make Onion Chips

There are quite a few variations of onion chips out there, but we liked the one from TikTok food content creator Stella Drivas the most. Her take on this exciting snack is simple and straightforward.

To make the onion chips, start by peeling two larger white onions and then slicing them to 1/4 inch thickness. Make sure to handle the slices with care in order to keep all the layers together.

Next, place a parchment paper on a baking sheet and line it with shredded Parmesan cheese. You can also use other hard cheeses or experiment with a combination of multiple cheeses.

After that, cover the cheese with onion slices and then brush them with some olive oil. Sprinkle with seasoning like salt, garlic powder, and paprika.

Pop the baking sheet into a preheated oven at 400F and bake for roughly 18 minutes or until the onion slices become golden brown. The cheese will bake into the onion slices and you’ll get a delicious cheesy and crunchy snack that pairs excellently with all kinds of dips.

If you prefer video instructions, scroll down to check out Drivas’ clip with the full recipe.

Mac & Cheese

Place your macaroni in a large bowl and grate some cheese over it. Then, pour a generous amount of cooking liquid into the mix. Place some cling wrap over the bowl and poke holes in it before placing it in the microwave. Continue to microwave the bowl until the pasta is cooked.

Cauliflower Cheese

Cut one large cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Place the pieces in a microwave-friendly bowl and add 150 grams of cheddar cheese. Drizzle it with some hot English mustard, whole milk, and thyme leaves before microwaving for eight minutes.

Scrambled Eggs

Crack two eggs and use a fork to mix them. Add two tablespoons of milk before sprinkling some salt over the mixture. Warm the eggs in the microwave for 30 seconds before removing them, beating them again, and warming them further. Once ready, put them on some toast.
