Slice 2 medium sweet onions super thin using a mandolin slicer or food processor.

Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of salt over the sliced onions.

In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of Panko breadcrumbs, then toss with the onions until coated.

Spread the coated onions in a single layer on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil.

Preheat the oven to 475°F.

Bake the onions for 30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes for even cooking.

After 20 minutes, check for doneness; if they look brown, remove them from the oven.

Allow the baked onion strings to cool before using.
