Notes
- Ideal to use small to medium-sized onions for best results.
- Avoid burning the cheese to prevent a bitter taste; check at 16 minutes due to varying oven temperatures.
- Slice onions thinly to avoid sogginess; a mandolin slicer or sharp knife works well.
- If cooking oil spray is unavailable, lightly brush onions with olive or avocado oil.
- Base recipe requires only onions and Parmesan cheese; additional seasonings enhance flavor.
