Enjoy these crispy baked onion rings, a healthier twist on the classic fried version.
Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick spray.
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
Mix the flour, salt, and pepper on a sheet of wax paper. Place the breadcrumbs on another sheet of wax paper.
Using wax paper makes cleanup easier and keeps the coating process tidy.
Beat the egg in a shallow dish until smooth.
Beating the egg thoroughly ensures an even coating on the onion rings.
Cut the onions into thick rings and separate them.
Thicker rings hold up better during the coating and baking process.
Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the onion rings to ensure they stick well.
Bake the onion rings on the top rack of the oven for 10 minutes. Flip them carefully and bake for another 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
Flipping the onion rings halfway through ensures even browning on both sides.
Serve the onion rings warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy.
Serving immediately ensures the onion rings retain their crispiness.
