Baked Onion Rings
One of my favorite foods is onion rings, but I rarely eat them because they are so bad for me. I recently made some chicken teriyaki sandwiches and a garden salad for dinner, and decided to try making this easy homemade baked onion rings recipe. We all loved how crunchy these delicious onion rings were, and the Italian seasoned panko gave them great flavor.
Baked Onion Rings
Ingredients:
- 2 yellow onions, sliced into thick rings
- ½ cup of flour
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- 1 egg, well-beaten
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1½ cups of Italian seasoned panko crumbs
Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2-3 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp dill pickle juice
How to Make Baked Onion Rings:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the onion into thick rings, then separate them.
Make a dredging station by pouring the flour into a shallow bowl and seasoning it with garlic powder, sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste, then mix well.
Whisk the egg and milk in a shallow bowl, and season with garlic powder, sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste, until well combined.
Pour the panko crumbs into a separate shallow bowl, and season with garlic powder, sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste, until well combined.
Dredge the onions first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the panko crumbs until fully coated.
Place each coated ring on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining rings.
Place the baking sheet in the fridge for 15 minutes. Side Note: Don’t skip this step! It helps the panko stay adhered to the onion rings while baking.Â
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Spray the rings well with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake the onion rings by placing the baking sheet in the oven to bake for 10 minutes.
Flip the rings over carefully with tongs.
Bake for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Make the sauce by combining the mayonnaise, ketchup, and dill pickle juice until smooth.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy.

I really want to make this but I only have regular panko crumbs. Do you have any suggestions as to what seasonings I should add to my plain panko? Thanks!
Amy,
I would season the panko with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, garlic powder, dried basil, and dried oregano. I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pam
I just made these tonight and they were a hit!!!
Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
I also run a food blog and featured your recipe this morning.
My family and I tried these this evening. They were surprisingly good. We found the panko to be kind of harsh/sharp on the mouth. Do you think regular bread cumbs would suffice?
Thanks for sharing another wonderful recipe.

Yum- just made these for dinner and they were so good. I wasn't expecting them to be as good as they were- no need for frying at all! I used my Misto to spray olive oil on them. So good!
Baked Onion Rings – look wonderful. I would add a little garlic to bring out the flavor. Superb!
Pam,
I absolutely love these and am definitely going to have to make these on Sunday! I have featured a couple of your delicious recipes on my blog already, and would love to feature these as well.
