Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups buttermilk
4 eggs
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 large yellow sweet onions, such as Maui, sliced 1/4-to-1/2-inch thick

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place parchment paper onto 2 baking sheets and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt. In another bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add half of the flour mixture to the buttermilk and beat until smooth and thickened.
In a separate bowl, combine the panko, olive oil and remaining 2 teaspoons salt.
Lightly dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture and then drop into the buttermilk. Drain the excess batter and then dredge in the panko mixture.
Arrange on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. You can place smaller rings inside bigger rings if necessary, just make sure there is space between them. Then place in the oven. Cook until golden brown, 14 to 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip over each onion ring to ensure even crisping and browning.

Tips:

Select medium-sized yellow or white onions as they hold their shape better during the frying process.
Slice the onions into even rings about ¼ inch thick to ensure uniform cooking.
Soak the onion rings in cold water for at least 15 minutes to remove their sharpness and bitterness.
Pat the onion rings dry with paper towels before coating them to help the batter adhere properly.
Use a combination of flour, cornstarch, and seasonings to create a flavorful and crispy coating.
Make sure the batter is thick enough to coat the onion rings evenly, but not too thick that it becomes doughy.
Heat the oil to the right temperature, around 375°F (190°C), before frying the onion rings to achieve a golden brown color and crispy texture.
Fry the onion rings in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
Drain the fried onion rings on paper towels to remove excess oil and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.
