Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large yellow onions
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 1 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil.
Peel the onions and cut them into thick rings about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) wide. Separate the rings and set them aside.
Prepare three separate bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Take an onion ring and coat it lightly in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess egg to drip off. Finally, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with the remaining onion rings.
Place the coated onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even roasting.
Lightly spray the tops of the onion rings with olive oil. This helps them achieve a golden, crispy texture.
Roast the onion rings in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking. They are done when they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the onion rings from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as a side dish or snack with your favorite dipping sauce!
