Onion rings are one of my all-time favorite guilty pleasures. I would take them over fries any day. These parmesan onion rings are deliciously crunchy, and always a huge hit. They are fantastic on a burger or just as a side dish.
I make them every time with my Jalapeno Pepper Jack Chicken Burger or my Skillet Burger. Or just munching a big ole plate while watching the game. This recipe gives you the perfect onion ring, crispy on the outside with a sweet onion on the inside...So good!

It's just fresh chopped parsley totally optional, but it is in the list of ingredients.
- Amani
It’s very obvious that there is some green herb on the onion rings, but these herbs are not mentioned in the recipe.
- Wendie
Panko bread crumbs are larger than the regular and both of them together give the onion rings a nice crispy coating.
