Description
Golden and crispy baked onion rings with a crunchy parmesan panko coating and a tender, sweet onion center. A lighter alternative to the classic fried version, perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large yellow onions, sliced into 1/2 inch thick rings
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Lightly coat the rack with olive oil.
- Place flour in one bowl. In a second bowl add the beaten eggs. In a third bowl mix panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each onion ring into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating adheres well.
- Arrange coated onion rings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Lightly brush or spray the tops with olive oil.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately while warm and crunchy.
Notes
- Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crisp texture.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even browning.
- Flip the rings halfway through baking for balanced crispness.
- Serve immediately for best texture.
