Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon granulated Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 4 large sweet Onions peeled and sliced into 3/4-inch slices
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Cornmeal
  • 6 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 5 cups Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 6 - 8 cups Canola Oil or Vegetable Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Combine sea salt, pepper, paprika, garlic and sugar. Mix well. Set aside. Separate onions into rings.
  • On your work surface, set 3 large shallow bowls.
  • In the first bowl, combine flour, cornmeal and 1 teaspoon salt mixture. Mix well.
  • In the second bowl, add eggs and water. Whisk to mix.
  • In the third bowl, add panko and 1 teaspoon salt mixture. Mix well.
  • Dredge each ring in flour mixture, then egg mixture.
  • Dip back into flour mixture again, then panko mixture, pressing crumbs onto rings to ensure even coating.
  • Each breaded ring on to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Repeat with remaining onions.
  • Cover loosely. Place in refrigerator to chill 30 minutes.
  • Heat oil to 350°F in a large deep skillet or electric fryer.
  • Fry rings in batches, allowing oil to return to 350°F between batches.
  • Place cooked onions on paper towel-covered baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with remaining salt mixture, to taste.
  • Serve your Onion Rings like they do at Red Robin -- with Ranch Dressing and Red Robin Campfire Sauce. We have a Link Below for the Red Robin Campfire Sauce Recipe or you can by it on Amazon (Link also below).
