Ingredients
1(12 pack)regular sliced bacon
1largeyellow onion
bbq sauce for serving
Instructions
Cut the stem off of your onion and remove the outer layer. Next, continue cutting in the same direction to create RINGS. I cut mine about a ½ inch thick so that they were sturdy enough to hold the bacon. Try not to cry!
Next, simply wrap the bacon around the onion rings trying not to overlap too much. Because the onion rings will all be in varying sizes, some of them will require one piece of bacon, while others may need 1½ or 2 slices to cover the entire onion. You can also double up on your onion rings if they're thin.
Oven Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F and place the bacon wrapped onion rings onto a foil lined baking sheet. If you have a baking rack, I recommend placing that onto your sheet pan for a crispier result. Cook for 15-25 minutes or until done to your liking. If you're not using a baking rack, flip them over half way through for best results.
Air Fryer Instructions
Cook in a single layer at 390° F for about 10 minutes, flipping them over half way through. The only downfall of the air fryer is that you might have to make them in batches as you don't want them stacked.
Grill Instructions
Set your grill to medium heat and cook for about 25 minutes, flipping them over a few times. You may need wooden skewers to hold them together if they’re flimsy.
The Finishing Touch
Once finished, brush the crispy bacon with your favorite bbq sauce or serve it on the side for dipping.
Enjoy aș a delicious snack, side dish, appetizer, or even addition to a cheeseburger or sandwich. Double the recipe if you're serving a crowd! Your family will probably fight over the last one.
Notes
Want to spice them up? You can optionally sprinkle the bacon before cooking with garlic powder, black pepper, or cayenne.
If serving as an appetizer or snack, a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing couldn't hurt.
The time these take to cook will highly depend on your choice of bacon. Thin cut bacon is easier to wrap around the onions and cooks much faster.
