Why this works

Onion rings without the batter. Each ring gets wrapped in bacon and sprinkled with parmesan, then baked until the bacon crisps. A few minutes under the broiler finishes them off.

Bacon wrapped onion rings on a plate with dipping sauce

Use the biggest, thickest rings from the onion. They're the easiest to wrap.

Method

01
Heat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a sheet pan with foil and grease it, or set a greased ovenproof rack on top for the crispiest bacon.
02
Wrap each onion ring snugly in a thin strip of bacon, covering the whole ring without overlapping.
03
Spray the rings with avocado oil and sprinkle with half the parmesan. Flip and repeat on the other side.
04
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway, until the bacon is cooked and starting to crisp. Pour off the fat now and then if you're not using a rack.
05
Switch to broil and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until crispy. They crisp up a little more as they cool.

Good to know

Use a rack if you have one. The fat drips away and the bacon gets crispier.

Thin bacon wraps best. Thick-cut is harder to wrap and slower to crisp.

Watch the broiler. Bacon goes from crisp to burnt fast.

The onion is the main carb, so the numbers depend on the size of your onion.
