FAQ ❓

Which spices should you use for original homemade chips?

Homemade onion and Parmesan chips pair well with all kinds of spices. In addition to paprika and herbes de Provence, you can add:
– Mild chili pepper or Espelette pepper for a little heat,
– Curry powder for an exotic touch,
– Or fresh rosemary for a Mediterranean aroma.
These spices let you customize the recipe and make for original, tasty appetizer chips!

Can you use a cheese other than Parmesan for homemade chips?

Yes, if you want to mix things up, you can replace the grated Parmesan with Grana Padano, pecorino, or even grated Comté for milder or more pronounced flavors. Parmesan is still ideal for crispy chips, however, thanks to its high dry-matter content.

Do you need to precook the onion to make homemade chips?

No, in this easy homemade chip recipe, the onion is used raw and sliced very thinly. Baking is enough to dehydrate it and give it a crispy texture. So there’s no need to precook it—and this also makes the chips quicker to prepare!

How should you cut the onion for homemade chips?

For crispy, evenly cooked chips, use a mandoline or a good, sharp knife. The onion slices should be very thin so they cook evenly and caramelize slightly with the Parmesan.

Can you prepare homemade chips in advance?

Yes, you can prepare these appetizer chips a few hours in advance. Let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight jar or metal tin to keep them crispy until you’re ready to serve. They’re perfect for a get-together with friends or for snacking while watching a good movie!

How can you keep homemade chips crispy?

To keep your homemade chips crunchy, store them at room temperature in an airtight container or metal tin. Avoid plastic containers, which retain moisture. For the best texture, eat them within 48 hours.
