Onion is one of the most common savoury flavours in snacks. Makers use dried onion powder or granules, which give a sweet, toasty and slightly sharp taste, and they often pair it with sour cream, cheese or garlic. Sour cream and onion is one of the classic potato chip flavours.
The snacks here include Price E. Hunt Sour Cream & Onion Potato Chips from JJ’s Distributing and two Thai takes on the same pairing, Lay’s Stax Sour Cream & Onion and Lay’s Flat Sour Cream & Onion, all also listed under sour cream. Herr’s Onion Rings bake the onion flavour into ring-shaped dough and are also in the onion rings category. Chives, from the onion family, have their own page: chive.
Onion powder is plant-based, but onion seasonings are often mixed with sour cream or cheese powders made from milk, so the ingredient list is worth a look if you avoid dairy.
