Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 large onions, sliced into 1/4 inch thick rings
  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Vegetable oil, for frying or brushing if baking
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onions: Peel and slice the onions into 1/4 inch thick rings, separating them gently into individual rings.
  2. Coat the Rings: Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: flour seasoned with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Dip each onion ring first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs for a crispy crust.
  3. Choose Cooking Method: For frying, heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan to 350°F (175°C). For baking, preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
  4. Cook the Onion Rings: If frying, carefully place coated onion rings into hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. If baking, arrange rings on the prepared tray, lightly brush or spray with oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  5. Serve: Allow the onion ring chips to cool slightly, then season with a pinch of salt if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, mix spices like paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper into the breadcrumbs.
  • Using panko breadcrumbs will yield a lighter, crispier texture.
  • Baking is a healthier alternative to frying but may result in slightly less crunch.
  • Ensure oil temperature is maintained when frying to avoid greasy onion rings.
  • Onion ring chips are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispiness.
