Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large onions, sliced into rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs for a healthier option
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Cooking spray or a light drizzle of olive oil
- Optional: hot sauce or spicy seasoning for extra flavor
Instructions
- Start by peeling and slicing the onions into uniform rings. Rinse them gently and pat dry to ensure the batter sticks properly.
- Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and third with breadcrumb mixture seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each onion ring in the flour, then in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the coated onion rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Lightly spray the rings with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even baking.
- For extra crispiness, turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or herbs before baking.
Notes
- Ensure the onion rings are not overcrowded on the baking sheet for maximum crispiness.
- For added flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or herbs before baking.
- To keep leftovers crisp, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C), avoiding microwaving which can make the coating soggy.
