Description
A recipe for making onion rings crispy using baking instead of deep frying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large yellow onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Peel and slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together.
- In a third shallow bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Next, dip the floured ring into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
- Finally, press the ring firmly into the panko breadcrumbs to coat completely.
- Place the coated onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Lightly spray the tops of the onion rings with cooking spray.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, flip the rings, and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can chill the coated rings for 15 minutes before baking.
- Serve immediately after baking for the best texture.
