Description
Crispy, golden baked onion ring chips made with sweet onions, panko breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese for a lighter twist on classic onion rings.
Ingredients
2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced into rings
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray or olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Slice onions into thin rings and gently separate them.
- Prepare three bowls: place flour in the first; whisk eggs and milk in the second; mix panko, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in the third.
- Dip each onion ring into the flour and shake off excess.
- Dip into the egg mixture, coating completely.
- Press into the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly on both sides.
- Arrange coated rings in a single layer on prepared baking sheets and lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the breadcrumb mixture.
Substitute red onions for a sharper flavor.
To make gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and gluten-free panko.
Air-fry at 375°F for 10–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 375°F for 5–8 minutes or in the air fryer to maintain crispiness.
Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
