Ingredients:
1 large sweet onion, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the onion slices into individual rings.
Spread a thin layer of grated Parmesan cheese on the parchment paper, forming circles slightly larger than your onion rings.
Place an onion ring on each Parmesan circle.
Top each onion ring with another layer of Parmesan cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and crispy.
While the onion rings are baking, prepare the dip by blending cottage cheese and ranch seasoning in a food processor until smooth (Recipe linked here)
