Onion rings are one of my all time favorite guilty pleasures. I would take them over fries any day. These parmesan onion rings are deliciously crunchy, and always a huge hit. They are fantastic on a burger or just as a side. 

I make them every time with my jalapeno pepper jack chicken burger.  Or just munching a big ole plate while watching the game. This recipe gives you the perfect onion ring, crispy on the outside with a sweet onion on the inside…So good!

How to make parmesan onion rings

• First peel and slice onions into 1/4 inch thick rings, and separate them from each other.
• Next you’ll need three bowls. Mix flour, baking powder, paprika, cayenne and salt in one bowl. Whisk egg and milk in another bowl. Then add bread crumbs panko and parmesan in the last bowl.
• Toss a few rings in the flour, then dunk them in the egg mixture and roll them in the panko crumbs. A quick dunk back into the egg mixture and then back into the panko mixture. Place rings n a baking sheet until all the rings are breaded.
• Add 2 inches vegetable or canola oil to a pot. Using a candy thermometer heat the oil to 325 degrees. carefully add in a few onion rings. Cook 2-3 minutes flipping about halfway through. Place on a cooling rack or paper towel to drain extra grease. Season with a little more salt if desired.
