Cut the butt off the yellow onion.

Slice the onion into rings, aiming for small rings.

Separate the onion rings carefully.

Wash hands before proceeding to the next step.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of flour with 1.5 teaspoons of salt to create the seasoned flour.

Prepare panko breadcrumbs in a separate bowl for coating.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray it with cooking spray.

Coat each onion ring in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are well covered.

Dip the floured onion rings into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.

Coat the egg-dipped onion rings in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Arrange the coated onion rings on the prepared cookie sheet, placing smaller pieces in between larger ones to save space.

Bake the onion rings in the oven for about 15 minutes, checking for doneness.

If desired, spray the onion rings with cooking spray in the last few minutes of baking for extra crispiness.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
