EASY BAKED Onion Rings! This homemade oven baked onion rings recipe is a great side to cheeseburgers! The batter is made with flour, milk, egg, breadcrumbs and spices! We use our garden grown onions to make them – we love how crispy they are!
Let’s talk onion rings. We have harvested so many onions our kitchen looks like a onion shop (if that exists). So after Matthew threw me so many onion ring hints, I took them and promised him onion rings would be made. These onion rings are so easy to make and so delicious to eat!
This recipe uses creole spice mix which I include in the ingredients list to make your own. This seasoning is great for meat rubs, rice dishes and soups too. You can also buy this seasoning mix already made, but you probably have all the ingredients already in your kitchen. If you made this seasoning and put it into mason jars it would be make a awesome gift for fellow cooking lovers.
Beautiful garden onions. You guys are very pretty.
Slice them into 1/4 to 1/2 inch rings.
Here’s your 3 bowls you need. Regular flour, flour batter mixture and bread crumbs.
Step 1: Dip the onions into flour.
Step 2: Into wet flour mixture. This is very important: Make sure to let them drip to get all the excess off. If you don’t, your bread crumb mixture is going to become clumpy and a mess very quick.
Step 3: Dip into bread crumbs.
Into the oven they go…
You want to keep a eye on them so they don’t burn. Mine took 16 minutes. Also you want to flip them midway, I say at the 8 minute mark is good.
And out of the oven they come. All crispy and brown and gorgeous!

Thanks for a yum keeper recipe – baked rings much easier than the oldschool way – no more hot oil splattering with the smoke detector going beep beep beep. LOL just one question – why don’t my hands look as nice as yours do, while dipping them?
Pamela says
Hahaha Joan, you should see my camera…a little dirty. 😉

I definitely need to try these again. The first recipe I used for baked onion rings didn’t turn out so great, and it was mostly bland and the breading only stuck in chunks. I suppose finer breadcrumbs are more ideal for this… yours look picture perfect!
By the way, I just moved to Manhattan yesterday! You’ll have to give me some of your favourite NYC markets and restaurant/cafe recommendations 😉
Pamela says
Welcome to New York Irina! It’s a hot week this week.. but it will get better soon! 🙂 Let me know if you’re looking for a specific type of food and I will tell you if I have a favorite! 🙂

Amy @ Elephant Eats says
Hahaha, I love that you make his favorite food for him with subtle strings attached 🙂 You’re such a good gf. My husband doesn’t eat certain foods and I don’t make them because of that…I think that now I should make them and he should just eat them for me in exchange for a back rub and ice cream. I’ll tell him that’s how it’s supposed to be done.
Pamela says
You tell him Amy! In my opinion love is when you threaten food for massages in return. 🙂
Archana @ FeedingTheFoodie says
I love onions but I dont like them fried – so glad these are baked and the seasoning must make them so awesome! You entire garden sounds so good – and right here in Bkyln! Im so impressed with you guys.
Pamela says
Thanks Archana! 🙂
Jennifer @ Not Your Momma's Cookie says
There isn’t much food that my husband loves that I don’t like too, so we don’t run into this problem very often 😉 We’re usually comprising on movies to watch and I’m making the same kinds of statements – you better enjoy this, you owe me, etc. 😉
I bet we would both agree on these onion rings though – they look delish! 🙂
Pamela says
I hope you get to make these and enjoy together while watching a movie you both want to see! 🙂
[email protected] says
Well, onion rings are irresistible! Love the spice mixture you used for them!
Pamela says
Thanks Christin, I’m liking this spice mix alot!
Consuelo @ Honey & Figs says
Yes, I kinda hate pork but absolutely everybody in my family loves it, so I have to cook lots of pork-based dishes. which I find super disguinting because it involved manipulating raw pork and ew, I don’t like it. But they really, really love pork so…
Wow, these onion rigs look delicious! I haven’t had them for years because all the frying onvolved and stuff, too much hassle. But a baked version…?? Now we’re talking! This recipe is amazing, I’ll try it soon 😀
Pamela says
The things you do for love, you’re a good person! 🙂
Enjoy! Hope you like these rings!
Joanne says
