I adore onion rings, but they are usually so greasy! However these Baked Onion Rings are a little different. They give you the full flavor, but way cleaner.
Onion rings to me are a kind of comfort food, overall. They remind me of fast food when I am starving hungry, match day snacks, and laid-back family treat meals. However much as I love them, they are always very greasy. I therefore decided to experiment with these Baked Onion Rings, and they taste just as good, but leave you feeling way less guilty afterwards.
They are perfect for family gatherings, summer parties, or for…wait for it…National Onion Ring Day! So you didn’t know there was such a thing? Neither did I until very recently. Click here for more information about why onion rings are a snack worth celebrating!

Ingredients
1 large yellow onion, ends trimmed, cut crosswise in 1/2 slices
1/4 cup half-and-half
2 large eggs
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Vegetable oil spray
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 4oo degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the onion rings and place in a resealable plastic bag.
In one bowl, whisk the half-and-half and eggs together. Add the breadcrumbs to a second bowl, and in a third bowl whisk the flour with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne.
Add the flour mixture to the bag with the onions and toss well. Then dip the onions into the eggs, and then dredge in the panko, pressing to coat.
Spread the onion rings on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Coat with vegetable oil spray, and bake in the oven until crispy (20-25 minutes).
