Notes

  • I find small to medium sized onions work best. 
  • Be careful not to burn the cheese or else it will taste bitter. Oven temperatures vary so start checking it at 16 minutes. 
  • Slice the onions thin or else they will come out soggy. If you don't have a mandolin slicer, just use a sharp knife and slice as thin as possible.
  • If you don't have cooking oil spray, just dab the onions with a bit of olive oil or avocado oil with a brush.
  • You technically only need the onion and parmesan cheese to make this. The seasons just add flavor.
