Ingredients
Onion Rings
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ cups panko
- ¾ cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 extra-large sweet onion sliced into ¼-inch thick rings
- Oil mister filled with cooking oil I used grapeseed
Sweet Chili Sauce
- ½ cup honey
- 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha to taste
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Instructions
Onion Rings
- Preheat oven to 450ºF. Place oven-safe wire racks on two baking sheets and spray them with oil.*
- Whisk together the flour and paprika in a shallow bowl or dish. In another dish, whisk the milk and egg. In a third dish, combine the panko, coconut, and salt.
- Break the onion slices into individual rings. Dredge each ring in the flour mixture, then dip it in the milk mixture, and then press it into the panko mixture, making sure to coat all sides. Place the breaded ring onto one of the wire racks, and repeat until all the rings are coated. (To save space, put the smaller rings inside the larger ones on the racks.)
- Once all the rings are coated, spray them with oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating sheets after 10 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Cup of Yum
Sweet Chili Sauce
- Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
Notes
- *If you don't have oven-safe wire racks, you can make the onion rings directly on your baking sheets. Spray the baking sheets with oil and flip the onion rings over halfway through cooking time.
