Instructions
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Separate the onion into matching pairs of rings.
- Stir the mashed avocado, tomato, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into a chunky guacamole.
- Spoon guacamole between two matching onion rings, leaving a narrow border so the filling stays enclosed. Repeat with the remaining rings and chill for 10 minutes.
- Set out the flour, beaten eggs, and panko mixed with garlic powder, pepper, and the remaining salt.
- Coat each stuffed ring in flour, dip it in egg, then press it into panko until covered. Place the rings on the prepared sheet and spray lightly with oil.
- Bake for 12 minutes, turn carefully, and bake 10 to 13 minutes more until the coating is crisp and the onion is tender.
- Cool for 5 minutes and serve with lime wedges or a simple chipotle dip.
