Who doesn't love crispy onion rings? This recipe shows you how to make perfectly golden brown and delicious onion rings in the oven, without deep-frying. It's much healthier, yet just as enjoyable as the traditional version. Ideal as a side dish, snack, or even a light dinner. Give it a try, and it's guaranteed to become a family favorite!

ingredients

4 Servings
500 g yellow onions
150 g all-purpose flour
2 pcs large eggs
200 g panko breadcrumbs
30 ml milk
5 g salt
2 g ground black pepper
3 g ground paprika
2 g garlic powder
30 ml olive oil (or cooking spray)

Steps

1

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel the onions, slice them into approximately 1 cm thick rings, then carefully separate the rings.

2

Breading

Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the eggs whisked with milk, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder, and the third with panko breadcrumbs. Individually coat each onion ring first in flour (shaking off excess), then in the egg mixture, and finally in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring it's fully covered.

3

Baking

Arrange the breaded onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush them with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them once halfway through. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce!

Extra Tips

For an even crispier result, freeze the breaded onion rings for 15 minutes before baking.

Use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs for a much crispier outcome.

Experiment with seasonings! A pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika can add extra flavor.
