Soft-Crisp Onion Fries

Steps

1. 01

   Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 02

   Prep the onion: On a cutting board, peel and cut the sweet onion into thick, fry-like strips. Place the strips in a mixing bowl.

3. 03

   Coat the onion: Drizzle olive oil over the onion strips and toss them to ensure they're evenly coated. Add the breadcrumbs and grated cheese (if using) and toss again until the strips are lightly coated.

4. 04

   Add moisture: Add the water to the bowl and gently mix to moisten the breadcrumbs. This will help create a softer texture, making the fries easier to chew for teething babies.

5. 05

   Bake the onion fries: Lay the coated onion strips on the lined baking sheet, making sure they're spaced out evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are soft yet slightly crisp.

6. 06

   Cool and serve: Let the fries cool for a few minutes before serving them to your baby.
