Ingredients

For the Onion Rings

2 large yellow onions peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rings

For the Breading

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and lightly grease them with cooking spray.
Separate the onion rings into individual rings.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and water until well combined.
Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and shake off any excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off. Finally, dredge the onion ring in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to coat evenly.
Place the coated onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Drizzle them with the olive oil.
Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully flip each onion ring and continue baking for another 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. If needed, switch the baking sheets halfway through for even cooking.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can bake the onion rings at 425°F (220°C) for a slightly shorter time, but watch them closely to prevent burning. Various dipping sauces like ketchup, aioli, or ranch pair well with these onion ring chips.
