Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onion
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 can olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray them with olive oil spray.
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Pour the buttermilk into a second shallow bowl.
In a third shallow bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Take each onion ring and dip it into the flour mixture, making sure it is evenly coated. Then, dip it into the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, coat the onion ring in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Place the breaded onion rings onto the prepared baking sheets in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Lightly spray the tops of the onion rings with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the onion rings over and spray them again with olive oil spray. Bake for another 10 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.
Remove the onion rings from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
