Description
Crispy, cheesy, golden bites that outshine classic onion rings!
Ingredients
2 large sweet onions, sliced into thick rings
1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt & pepper to taste
Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or air fryer to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Separate onion slices into rings. Place a bit of cheese between two similar-sized rings, pressing gently.
Dredge each stuffed ring in flour, dip in egg, then coat in seasoned panko.
Arrange on baking sheet or air fryer tray. Spray lightly with oil.
Bake for 15–18 minutes (or air fry for 10–12 min), flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.
Serve hot with ranch, spicy mayo, or your favorite dip!
