These oven baked onion rings are a much more healthy option than the deep fried version. A lightly seasoned but crispy coating make these a great side dish.
Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
Mix together 4 tablespoon Plain flour and 2 tablespoon Cajun seasoning in a bowl.
Put 50 g Panko breadcrumbs in another bowl, and whisk 2 Eggs in a third bowl.
Slice 1 Onion thickly and separate them into rings
Dip the onion slices in the flour mixture, then the egg and then roll in the panko breadcrumbs until they are completely covered. Put them on a lined baking tray.
Bake for 20 minutes, flip them and cook for a further 5 minutes until crispy.
Notes
You can use any breadcrumbs you like, however we find that panko gets them nice and crispy.
Feel free to change the seasoning used. You could swap Cajun for Mexican, Italian or Curry Powder.
Cooking times will depend on your own and how crispy you like your onion rings. Keep an eye on them and take them out when they are cooked to your liking.
Add some extra flavour to these by mixing some grated Parmesan in to the breadcrumbs.
