Ingredients

• 2 pieces large onions
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch-thick rings. Separate each ring and set aside the smaller inner rings for another use if desired.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the buttermilk into a second shallow bowl.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, making sure to coat evenly. Tap off any excess flour.

Step 7

Submerge the floured onion ring into the buttermilk, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.

Step 8

Coat the onion ring in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere. Place the coated ring on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining onion rings, arranging them in a single layer on the baking sheet. Spray the tops of the rings lightly with cooking spray to encourage browning.

Step 10

Bake the onion rings in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip each ring carefully using tongs, then bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Serve the oven-baked onion rings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
