Crispy Parmesan Onion Petals
Golden baked onion petals coated in crispy panko and parmesan, tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. These savory bites are oven-baked for a lighter twist on a classic appetizer and served perfectly with your favorite creamy dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet onion, cut into thick petals
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil spray, light coating
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top if available.
- Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another bowl, and mix panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a third bowl.
- Lightly spray the wire rack or parchment paper with olive oil spray.
- Dip each onion petal into flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Arrange on the prepared rack.
- Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray and bake for 18 to 22 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly so the coating sets.
- Serve warm with your favorite creamy dipping sauce.
Notes
- Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto each petal to help it adhere.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure even crisping.
- Freshly grated parmesan provides better texture and flavor than pre shredded cheese.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven at 375°F for 5 to 7 minutes to restore crispness.
