Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 large onions, sliced into 1/4 inch rings
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for baking or air frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the onions: Peel and slice the onions into 1/4 inch thick rings, carefully separating the rings from each other.
  2. Set up the coating stations: In one bowl, place the flour; in another, beat the eggs; and in a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. Coat the onion rings: Dip each ring first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the seasoned breadcrumbs, ensuring each ring is well coated.
  4. Arrange the rings for cooking: Place the coated onion rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack if baking; lightly spray or brush them with cooking oil. For air frying, arrange the rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray with oil.
  5. Cook the onion rings: For baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy. For air frying, cook at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  6. Serve: Remove when crispy and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
  • Ensure even coating by shaking off excess flour and egg.
  • If baking, flipping halfway promotes even browning.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on oven or air fryer models.
