Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the eggs whisked with the milk, and the last with the panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each onion ring into the flour, making sure to coat it completely, then shake off any excess.
Next, dip the floured ring into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
Finally, press the ring into the panko breadcrumb mixture, making sure it is evenly coated.
Place the coated onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining rings.
Lightly spray the tops of the onion rings with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping the rings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
