Print Recipe

A quick and easy snack featuring smoky bacon wrapped around tender onion rings, baked to crispy perfection without the greasy mess of frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Large yellow onions, sliced into 1/2 inch thick rings
  • Bacon strips, regular cut (not thick-cut)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60g)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top if available. Lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. Peel onions and slice into approximately 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings carefully to keep them whole.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss onion rings gently in the flour mixture to coat evenly.
  4. Wrap one bacon strip tightly around each onion ring, overlapping slightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Place bacon-wrapped onion rings on the wire rack or directly on the baking sheet, spacing about 1/2 inch apart.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 15 minutes. If not using a rack, flip rings halfway through baking to crisp bacon evenly. Bacon should be golden and crisp, onions tender.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool a few minutes before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Use a wire rack to allow fat to drip and keep bacon crispy. Flip halfway through baking if no rack is available. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free baking mix. Avoid microwaving leftovers to maintain crispiness.
