They always say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and Lauren definitely helped me win the love of my husband all over again with these Oven Fried Guinness Onion Rings! If your hunny-bunny loves a good stout beer, like mine does, he will love this recipe too.

The ingredients are super simple and make perfectly crunchy onion rings. I definitely like these way better than the fried version.

Using a sharp knife, peel and slice your onion into 1/2-inch rings. Place them in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk and part of the Guinness over the top. Lauren recommends letting them rest, covered, in the fridge for at least five hours. And she says they’re even better if left overnight.

When you’re ready to prep your onion rings, I go with the “trip-dip” approach, preparing one bowl of seasoned flour for dredging, one bowl (or pie pan, in my case) of eggs and buttermilk as a wash, and one final pie pan of the panko and cornmeal to give the onion rings that uber-crunchy coating.

Next, gingerly gather your sliced onions from the buttermilk bath and dredge them in the flour, then the egg wash, and finally into the panko, coating them completely.

Place them onto a nonstick baking sheet that has been sprayed with additional nonstick spray, and bake!

But don’t forget the Guiness gravy! While the onion rings are in the oven, melt your butter in a skillet or saucepan. Whisk in the flour to form a roux. When the roux turns golden brown, whisk in the Guinness and chicken stock until smooth.

Description

A fun appetizer to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE ONION RINGS:
  • 2 whole Yellow Or Sweet Onions, Cut Into 1/2 Inch Rings
  • 3 cups Buttermilk
  • ½ cups Guinness
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt, Divided
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • 2-½ cups Panko
  • ¼ cups Fine Cornmeal
  • Parsley, Garnish
  • FOR THE STOUT GRAVY:
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • ¾ cups Chicken Stock
  • ¼ cups Guinness Beer

Preparation Instructions

For the onion rings:
In a casserole dish, place sliced onions and cover with 2 cups buttermilk and beer. Cover dish with foil and put in fridge for at least 5 hours or for better results overnight.

Preheat oven to 450ºF. Remove onions from fridge and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, paprika, and half the salt. In another bowl, mix together remaining buttermilk and eggs. Take half of the flour mixture and add it to the buttermilk and give it a good whisk. In another large bowl, combine panko, cornmeal, and remaining salt.

Spray two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Take an onion slice, dip into the flour, then the buttermilk, and then the panko. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining onion slices. Bake onions for about 15 to 20 minutes, flipping midway. Bake until crispy. Garnish with parsley and serve gravy alongside.

For the stout gravy:
Preheat a sauce pan to medium heat. Melt butter. Add the flour and begin to whisk creating a roux. Let the flour cook out for a minute. Add the chicken stock and stout. Continue to whisk until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

If you aren’t a big fan of Guinness, are there any other things you can use to make the dipping sauce? These onion rings look wonderful!

for Janice: there is almost no Guinness left on the onion rings themselves after all the other coating and then the baking. it will leave a bit of taste, but really no alcohol to worry about. miniscule amount. I would not make the “gravy” if you’re worried about Guinness taste.

Mmm, this looks so yummy! I want to make this this weekend on my beach picnic with friends but have one (maybe dumb) question: will it taste distinctly guinness-y? Will the baking process cook off most of the alcohol?

I agree, this is nice that you don’t have to fry. It’s a great alternative to french fries.
