Steps:
- At least 4 hours ahead of time, place the sliced onion rings into a large dish and pour buttermilk overtop. You don't have to drown the onions, just make sure they are somewhat submerged. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator. In this step, you are soaking the onions, which will tenderize them. I strongly suggest soaking them for at least 12 hours for the best taste. I soaked mine overnight.
- Once the onions have soaked, remove from the refrigerator. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites. Set aside. In a large shallow dish (I used a pie dish), mix the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, bread crumbs, and the seasonings together until combined.
- Remove each ring from the buttermilk and dip in egg whites. Immediately submerge in the bread crumb mixture, mixing around to coat the onion well. If the bread crumbs won't adhere, dip in egg whites and then the breading again. If you find you need more breading, make more.
- Lay each breaded ring on the baking sheets in a single layer. You'll have two batches if your onions were quite large like mine. When all the rings are breaded, spray each with nonstick spray to "seal" the breading, which will prevent the breading from staying raw and allows it to bake onto the onion rings.
- Bake each batch for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and flip each ring using tongs. Spray the other side with nonstick spray. Then bake for 15 more minutes. A note about bake time: all ovens are different! And everyone likes a different level of crispiness. I baked my onion rings in my oven for 30 minutes, rotating and flipping once, and they were perfectly brown and crisp. Just bake the rings until they reach your desired level of brownness.
- Allow the onion rings to sit out for 10 minutes before digging in. Enjoy immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment paper with olive oil cooking spray.
- Stir together the buttermilk and cornstarch in a shallow bowl.
- Stir together the flour, cornmeal, Parmesan cheese and House seasoning in a baking dish.
- Coat the onion slices by placing each slice into the buttermilk mixture allow excess to drip before coating in the seasoned cornmeal. Then place the coated rings in a single layer on the baking sheets. Repeat until all onion rings are coated. Give the onion rings a light spray with non-stick baking spray. Bake until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes flipping once halfway through and serve hot.
- Stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Spray a baking sheet slightly with oil and set aside. Place potato chips in the bowl of a food processor and process into crumbs, about 20 seconds. Transfer to a shallow bowl, add cayenne, and set aside. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper and set aside. Slice onions into 1/2-inch circles and separate into rings, keeping only large, whole rings (reserve rest of onions for other uses). You should come out with about 12 to 14 rings.
- Place the remaining flour in a sealable plastic bag, then add onions, and shake to coat. Dip onions 1 at a time into the buttermilk mixture, then dip into potato chip crumbs and place on baking sheet. Spray canola oil evenly over rings and bake for 20 minutes, or until coating is crisp. Season with salt, to taste, and serve immediately.
CRISPY OVEN BAKED ONION RINGS
I am trying to stay healthy, but sometimes you like a burger and some onion rings, right?!?! Well, here's what I came up with for the onion rings. I have used all panko bread crumbs when I didn't have any baked potato chips, and all baked potato chips when I felt naughty, and they are all good. I usually just make this recipe for the 2 of us, and we don't have many leftover if any.....and my husband doesn't normally order rings when we are out! Let me know which way you like best :)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and spray it slightly with oil and set aside.
- Place potato chips and panko bread crumbs in the bowl of a food processor and process into crumbs, about 20 seconds. Transfer to a shallow bowl, add cayenne, and set aside.
- In another bowl, combine buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper and set aside.
- Slice onions into 1/2-inch circles and separate into rings, keeping only large, whole rings (reserve rest of onions for other uses). You should come out with about 12 to 14 rings.
- Place the remaining flour in a sealable plastic bag, then add onions, and shake to coat.
- Dip onions 1 at a time into the buttermilk mixture, then dip into potato chip mixture and place on baking sheet. NOTE: For those having problems with the coating not sticking, the secret is LET THEM REST! Don't just throw them in the oven from the coating! Give them at least 5-10 minutes to soak in all that good coating you just put on and they'll stick just fine.
- Spray canola oil evenly over rings and bake for 20 minutes, or until coating is crisp. Season with salt, to taste, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Use large, firm yellow or white onions for best results.
- Slice the onions evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some rings from becoming overcooked while others remain raw.
- Soak the onion rings in buttermilk: This step adds flavor and helps the batter adhere to the onion rings.
- Use a light hand when coating the onion rings in flour: Too much flour will make the batter heavy and greasy.
- Fry the onion rings in hot oil: This will help them brown quickly and evenly.
- Drain the onion rings on paper towels before serving: This will help remove any excess oil.
Conclusion:
Crispy oven-baked onion rings are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish or appetizer. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day snacks. With a few simple tips, you can make onion rings that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give these onion rings a try!
