Ingredients

• 2 large yellow or sweet onions
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 eggs
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0 cooking spray
• 0 non-stick baking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment paper with non-stick baking spray.

Step 2

Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings carefully and set aside.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together until smooth.

Step 5

In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Set up your assembly line: first the flour mixture, second the egg mixture, and third the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 7

Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly, then dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 8

Place the coated onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure the rings do not overlap for even cooking.

Step 9

Once all the onion rings are coated and placed on the sheets, lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help them crisp up while baking.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, flip the onion rings carefully and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce!
