Description

Crispy Parmesan Onion Ring Chips are a crunchy, flavorful snack made by soaking thinly sliced onion rings in buttermilk, then coating them in a seasoned flour mixture followed by a Parmesan-infused breadcrumb coating, and frying until golden brown. Perfect as an appetizer or side dish, these chips combine a tender onion interior with a crispy, cheesy crust.

Ingredients

Scale

Onion Rings

  • 2 large onions, sliced into thin rings
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Breading Mixture

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Parmesan Coating

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

For Frying

  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Slice Onions: Begin by slicing the onions into thin rings about 1/4 inch thick. Carefully separate the rings and set aside.
  2. Soak in Buttermilk: Place the onion rings in a medium bowl and pour the buttermilk over them, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes to enhance tenderness and flavor.
  3. Prepare Flour Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly to create an even seasoning blend.
  4. Prepare Breadcrumb Parmesan Mixture: In another shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese evenly to create a cheesy crust coating.
  5. Heat Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), ensuring it is hot enough for frying.
  6. Coat Onion Rings: Remove onion rings from buttermilk, letting excess liquid drip off. First dredge each ring in the seasoned flour mixture, then dip back briefly in buttermilk, and finally coat evenly with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture.
  7. Fry Onion Rings: Carefully place the coated onion rings in batches into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
  8. Drain Excess Oil: Remove fried onion rings with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Repeat frying with remaining rings.
  9. Serve: Serve the crispy Parmesan onion ring chips hot alongside your favorite dipping sauces for a delicious snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy texture.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to ensure even frying and prevent greasy onion rings.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to keep the oil temperature steady and avoid soggy coating.
  • These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for 5-7 minutes to crisp up again.
  • For a healthier option, try baking instead of frying, although texture will differ.
