Ingredients
- 1 large yellow onion peeled and cut into 1/2 inch thick rounds
- 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon corn starch
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the large yellow onion into 1/2 inch thick rounds and carefully separate the rings.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the unbleached all-purpose flour, paprika, salt, ground pepper, ground cumin, and ground coriander until well combined.
- Coat each onion ring in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour for a perfect crunch.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the coated onion rings in a single layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While baking, prepare the cumin dipping sauce by whisking together heavy cream, corn starch, mayonnaise, sour cream, ground coriander, ground cumin, a splash of Tabasco sauce, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Remove the onion rings from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm alongside the cumin dipping sauce and enjoy!
