Crispy Baked Onion Rings
Homemade oven baked onion rings have a perfectly crispy exterior and are tender in the middle. They're made with just a few simple pantry ingredients. This recipe is dairy free and egg free, and can easily be made gluten free.
Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow, white, or Vidalia onions cut into ½ - ¾ inch rings
- ¾ cup dairy-free milk or milk of choice
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour use GF if needed
- 1 heaping cup panko breadcrumbs use GF if needed
- 1 teaspoon diamond crystal kosher salt reduce to ½ teaspoon if using any other kind
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dairy free milk and flour together until smooth. In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and seasonings until well combined.
- Fully submerge the onion slices in the wet batter. Lightly shake off the excess batter using a fork, then dip it into the panko mixture.
- Arrange the onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the onion rings with oil and bake for 16 minutes, or until golden brown (they'll have varying shades of brown).
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. I recommend fry sauce, dill pickle ranch dressing, 2 minute kimchi mayo, or chipotle lime mayo.
