From Appetite For Reduction by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, this is a FAB-U-LOUS recipe....even if health or calorie-consciousness isn't important. These onion rings had a crunchy, super-tasty outer shell and the sweet onions cooked perfectly and were a terrific contrast, even though they were baked. I HIGHLY recommend that you try this recipe...you'll be hooked.

Categories     Onions

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 vidalia onions (approximately 1 pound)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus 2 tbsp
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup plain almond milk, very cold
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/2 tsp. table salt)
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Slice the onions into 3/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and place in a bowl. Cover with the kitchen towel.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees farenheit. Line a rimmed 12 x 18 inch baking sheet with parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Get two bowls for the batter and the breading. Into one bowl, place flour and cornstarch. Add about half of the almond milk and stir vigorously with a fork to dissolve. Add the rest of the almond milk and the apple cider vinegar, stirring to incorporate. Set aside.
  • In the other bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and salt. Drizzle in the olive oil and mix well.
  • Arrange your bowls and pan from left to right as they will be used.
  • Dip each onion ring into the batter, tapping any excess off, then transfer into the bread crumbs and use your "dry" hand to sprinkling a handful of crumbs over the inside and outside of the onions so that each is covered thoroughly.
  • Carefully transfer each onion ring to the baking sheet, creating only a single layer per sheet.
  • Spray the onion rings lightly with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 8 minutes, Flip carefully and bake for another 6-8 minutes. The rings should be varying shades of brown, and crisp. Taste one to check for doneness. Serve immediately.

Provided by Lakerdog2

Categories     Onions

Time 40m

Yield 24 rings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt & fresh ground pepper
30 saltine crackers
4 cups kettle-cooked potato chips, crumbled into smaller pieces
2 large yellow onions, cut evenly into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
6 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Adjust oven racks to lower-middle and upper-middle positions and heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place 1/4 cup flour in shallow baking dish. Beat egg and buttermilk together in medium bowl. Whisk remaining 1/4 cup flour, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into buttermilk mixture.
  • Pulse saltines and chips together in food processor until finely ground and place in separate shallow baking dish.
  • Pull apart the rings in each round, discarding any that are less than 2 inches in diameter. Working one at a time, dredge each onion ring in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip back into bowl, then drop into crumb coating, turning ring to coat evenly. Transfer to large plate and repeat with remaining onion rings.

OVEN-BAKED ONION RINGS



Oven-Baked Onion Rings image

It's hard to bake an onion ring as good as a deep-fried version. These are pretty good, so check it out! This makes a very crunchy, easy, no-muss, no-fuss onion ring.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Onion

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 yellow onion - ends trimmed off, peeled, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons milk
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 cups panko bread crumbs, or more if needed
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Separate onion slices into individual rings.
  • Whisk egg whites with milk in a bowl until thoroughly combined; season egg mixture with a pinch of cayenne pepper. Place panko crumbs into a separate bowl.
  • Place onion rings into a large resealable plastic bag. Add flour, salt, and black pepper; seal bag and shake until rings are well coated with flour.
  • Drop flour-coated onion rings into egg white-milk mixture, a few at a time, and toss lightly with tongs until coated. Place rings into panko crumbs and gently shake the bowl to toss the crumbs with the onion rings until rings are coated with crumbs.
  • Transfer coated onion rings to a large baking sheet; spray rings lightly with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until onion rings are tender and crumbs are lightly golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a mandoline or food processor to slice the onions thinly and evenly.
  • Soak the onion rings in milk for at least 30 minutes before coating them in the breadcrumb mixture. This will help the breading adhere to the onions.
  • Use a light touch when coating the onion rings in the breadcrumb mixture. Too much breading will make the onion rings heavy and greasy.
  • Bake the onion rings on a wire rack so that the air can circulate around them and they can cook evenly.
  • Serve the onion rings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

These oven-baked onion rings are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried onion rings. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and they have a flavorful breadcrumb coating. Serve them as an appetizer or side dish, or enjoy them as a snack. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these delicious onion rings at home.
