01 - 2 large onions, thinly sliced into 1/4 inch rings

→ Dairy

02 - 1/2 cup buttermilk
03 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ Dry Ingredients

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Cut onions into uniform 1/4 inch thick rings to promote even cooking.
02 - Place sliced onions in buttermilk and soak for 30 minutes to soften and allow better batter adhesion.
03 - Combine all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
04 - Mix grated Parmesan cheese with seasoned breadcrumbs in a separate bowl until evenly combined.
05 - Remove onions from buttermilk, letting excess liquid drip off before coating.
06 - Dredge each onion ring first in the flour mixture, then press into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture to ensure an even coating.
07 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F, filling pan 1 to 2 inches deep for frying.
08 - Fry coated onion rings in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, avoiding overcrowding.
09 - Transfer fried onion rings onto paper towels to absorb excess oil.
10 - Serve immediately while crispy, accompanied by a preferred dipping sauce.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Soaking onions in buttermilk softens their texture and improves the adherence of coatings.
