Slice one large sweet onion into half to 3/4 inch rings and set aside.

In a separate large bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, cornmeal, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and smoked paprika to make the dry dip.

In a small bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch, then whisk in unsweetened almond milk until a smooth batter forms to make the wet dip.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Dip the onion rings one at a time into the wet mixture, shake off the excess, then dip them into the dry mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on each side.

Bake the onion rings at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure both sides get crispy.

When done, the onion rings should be a light golden brown color and nice and crispy. Serve immediately with ketchup or any sauce of choice.
