Instructions
Preheat and Prep Onions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Slice onions into thick rings about 1 inch wide. Separate the rings and select the largest ones for wrapping. Pat the rings dry with paper towels so bacon adheres properly.
Season the Rings
Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Lightly brush each onion ring with olive oil and dust with the seasoning blend on all sides.
Wrap with Bacon
Take one strip of thin cut bacon and wrap it tightly around each seasoned onion ring, overlapping slightly as you go. Secure the end of the bacon with a toothpick to prevent unraveling during cooking.
Bake the Rings
Place wrapped onion rings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow fat to drip away. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until bacon is crispy and golden brown.
Rest and Serve
Remove toothpicks carefully before serving. Let the rings rest for 3 minutes on the rack so the bacon sets and crisps further. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
