Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large sweet onion, cut into 1/2-in.-thick rounds and separated into rings

Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: Stir together the flour, smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a shallow dish.
- Prepare the egg wash: In another shallow dish, lightly beat the egg and water until well combined.
- Make the breadcrumb mixture: In a third shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Dredge the onion rings: Dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Dip in egg wash: Dip the floured onion rings into the egg mixture, letting excess drip back.
