Panko provides a lighter, crispier texture.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Prepare a large baking pan for the onion rings, ensuring enough room for them to fit without jamming.

Spray the baking pan lightly with Pam cooking spray after placing the onion rings on it.

Melt butter in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Place the onions in a bag with flour and shake to coat them evenly.

In a bowl, combine half a cup of heavy cream, two beaten eggs, and melted butter to create a thin pancake batter.

In another bowl, mix 1.5 cups of panko bread crumbs with Italian seasoning, paprika, curry powder, chili powder, and cornmeal.

Dip each floured onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then shake off the excess.

Coat the onion ring in the seasoned panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Place the coated onion rings on the prepared baking pan and spray lightly with Pam cooking spray.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then switch to speed bake for an additional minute for extra crispiness.
