Ingredients

  • 1 sweet onion or red onion, large, thinly sliced into rings
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free panko or whole grain bread crumbs (bread crumb recipe)
  • 1/2 cup flour optional gluten free flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking power
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • kosher or sea salt to taste
  • 1 egg white
  • 3/4 cup low-fat milk or low-fat buttermilk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium mixing, combine panko or whole wheat bread crumbs, flour, salt, pepper and baking powder. Separate the onion slices into individual rings and add to the flour mixture, gently toss and make sure all the rings are coated. Remove onions and set aside.
  • Whisk together milk and egg white, add to the leftover flour mixture and stir to combine. Dip onion rings into batter, allow excess to drip off and place on a non-stick cookie sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle extra-virgin olive oil on the onion rings. Flip onion rings after 10 minutes. Continue baking until golden and crispy, 10 to 15 additional minutes.

Notes

If using this recipe for Green Bean Casserole, reduce cooking time by 5 minutes as the onion rings will continue to brown while on top of the casserole.

  1. I made these last night and they tasted great!! but I had a hard time as most of the batter ran off and just baked on the sheet and then I couldn't scrape them up easily? any suggestions? thanks!

  2. Flour (without the breadcrumbs) first, then I would dip them in the egg milk mixture, followed by a coating of the breadcrumb mixture. Put 'em on a rack to dry a bit before backing. They'll be crunchier.

    1. Hi Nadia, I’m so sorry your onion rings didn’t turn out! If you choose to make them again, spray your baking sheet with non-stick spray. Even if you’re using non-stick baking sheet. I would also recommend turning your oven down to 375, some ovens cook a little hotter than others. This make increase cooking time.

    1. Cymdi, I’ve never used an air fryer, but I’ve heard good things about it. I would suggest giving it a try. Please let us know how the onion rings turned out. 🙂
