Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large onions cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk or as needed
- 1 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 cups oil for frying or as needed
Instructions
- Peel and cut the onions into rings, carefully separate them, set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
- Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated and set aside on a cutting board.
- Next, using a fork, whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture.
- Add the Panko breadcrumbs to a shallow dish, set aside.
- Dip the floured rings into the batter to fully coat, place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large pan to 365 degrees F.
- Dip the onion rings one at a time into the Panko crumbs, getting the crumbs all over the ring to coat.
- Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain excess oil by placing them on the wire rack after frying.
- Season with salt if needed, and serve.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- If you prefer a lighter option, you can bake the onion rings instead of frying them at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Be sure to keep the oil temperature steady while frying to avoid soggy onion rings
