Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup low fat buttermilk
2 eggs
2 cups plain breadcrumbs
2 large yellow sweet onions (such as Maui, sliced ¼-to-½- thick)
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place baking paper onto 2 baking sheets and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, smoked paprika, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • In another bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add half of the flour mixture to the buttermilk and beat until smooth and thickened.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, and remaining teaspoon of salt.
  • Lightly dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture and then drop into the buttermilk. Drain the excess batter and then dredge in the breadcrumbs. For a thicker coating, chill the coated onion rings for one hour and then repeat this step (as I did).
  • Arrange on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. You can place smaller rings inside bigger ones if necessary, just make sure there is space between them.
  • Spray generously with the cooking spray.
  • Bake 20 to 30 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip over each onion ring over and spray with cooking spray to ensure even crisping and browning.

LOW CARB DEEP-FRIED ONION RINGS



Low Carb Deep-fried Onion Rings image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 to 6 cups vegetable oil (more or less depending on pot size)
3 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream or water
3 large yellow onions
2 1/3 cups soy flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Steps:

  • Place a heavy pot over medium-high heat with at least an inch of vegetable oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees F; it is important to monitor and maintain the temperature, or the soy flour breading and your oil will burn. (Portable deep fryers at home are great for this.)
  • In a medium bowl, mix the eggs and cream to make an egg wash. In a separate larger bowl, mix the breading ingredients together.
  • Peel and slice the onions in thick slices and carefully separate the rings. Then dip individual onion rings in the breading, then the egg wash, and then back in the breading again, making sure to coat well. Pat off any excess breading and carefully place into hot oil, in batches as necessary, and fry until golden brown and crisp, just 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately
