Crispy Parmesan Onion Rings – A Crunchy Appetizer Favorite

Instructions
Step 1: Separate the onion slices into individual rings and set aside.

Step 2: In a shallow bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Step 3: Dredge each onion ring in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat with the Parmesan-panko mixture. Press lightly to ensure the coating sticks.

Step 4: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry onion rings in batches for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Step 5: Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 6: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Storage Information
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Not recommended for freezing as they may lose texture.
