CRISPY BAKED ONION RINGS



Crispy Baked Onion Rings image

Ditch the deep fryer in favor of this quick and easy recipe for crispy, baked onion rings!

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large Vidalia onions
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 large egg whites
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs (See Kelly's Note)
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Slice the onions into 1/2-inch wide rings then place the rings in a bowl of water.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a second medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and the mayonnaise. Add the breadcrumbs to a third medium bowl.
  • Remove each onion ring from the water, shaking off any excess and then placing it immediately into the flour, tossing until it's thoroughly coated, then dip the onion ring into the egg white mixture until it's thoroughly coated and then into the breadcrumbs, pressing them firmly onto all sides of the onion ring. Place the onion ring on the prepared baking sheet and repeat the coating process with the remaining onion rings.
  • Throughly spray the onion rings with cooking spray (this is optional, but it helps them brown more evenly). Bake the onion rings for 10 minutes then flip them once and bake an additional 5 minutes until they're golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Provided by JeanieMomof3

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Onion

Time 18m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk, or as needed
¾ cup dry bread crumbs
seasoned salt to taste
1 quart oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
  • Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.

Categories     Onions

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 peeled onions
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 -3 egg whites
3/4 cup nonfat breadcrumbs or 3/4 cup lowfat breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Slice the onions width wise and then break them apart into rings.
  • Put the flour in 1 bowl, the egg whites into a second, and into the third put the bread crumbs and all the spices (all the rest of the ingredients).
  • Dip each onion ring into the flour, then the egg whites, and then the bread crumbs.
  • Place them on the baking sheet and then repeat with the next ring.
  • Bake them all for about 20 minutes or until crispy.

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline slicer to get evenly sliced onions for consistent cooking.
  • Soak the onion rings in buttermilk or milk for at least 30 minutes before coating. This helps the breading adhere better and makes the onion rings more tender.
  • Use a combination of bread crumbs, flour, and spices for the coating. This creates a crispy and flavorful crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when baking the onion rings. Leave some space between each ring so that they cook evenly.
  • Bake the onion rings at a high temperature (425°F) for a short amount of time (15-20 minutes). This will help them get crispy without overcooking.
  • Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Spicy oven-baked onion rings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. With a crispy coating and a tender, flavorful interior, these onion rings are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
