How to Make Dilly Onion Rings

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Add 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, to the bowl and gently toss to coat the rings evenly with the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the onions to fully marinate and soften.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Arrange the marinated onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the onion rings are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve immediately alongside your favorite fried meats, on sandwiches, or as a delightful topping for greens.
