What you’ll need
Ingredients
Let’s do this
- 1
Heat the oven to 425°F and line a large tray. Peel the onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices, and separate into rings. Save the tiny centers for another dish.
- 2
Put flour in one bowl. Beat egg and water in a second. Mix panko, oil, paprika, and salt in a third.
- 3
Coat each ring lightly in flour, then egg, then crumbs, pressing to help them stick. Arrange in one layer with space around each ring.
- 4
Bake for 18–22 minutes, flipping gently halfway, until golden and the onion is tender. Do not taste the uncooked coating.
- 5
Mix yogurt, ketchup, and garlic powder in a clean bowl. Serve the rings hot with dip on the side.
