Deliciously crispy onion ring chips made with sweet onions and coated with panko breadcrumbs for a delightful snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet Onions (like Vidalia)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour)

Instructions
- Slice the onions into thin rings about a quarter inch thick and separate them.
- Pour the buttermilk into a bowl, whisk in the garlic powder and a pinch of salt, then dunk the onion rings to coat.
- Mix together flour, paprika, black pepper, and salt in a dish until combined.
