Preparation

Instructions

0/5

Prepare the onions
Peel the onions and cut them into 1 cm thick slices. Separate the rings and set aside.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Prepare the coating
In a bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, combine milk and beaten eggs. Place panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Prepare all ingredients in advance for easy coating.
Coat the rings
Dip each onion ring in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally in the panko breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well-coated at each step.
Shake off excess flour and breadcrumbs to prevent a heavy coating.
Fry the rings
Heat oil in a large pot to 180°C. Fry onion rings in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Do not overcrowd the pot to maintain oil temperature.
Make the ranch sauce
In a bowl, mix all the ranch sauce ingredients. Refrigerate until serving.
Make the sauce ahead of time to allow flavors to meld.
