OMG OVEN BAKED ONION RINGS
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.

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.

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.
- Pour 3 tablespoons oil onto each of two rimmed baking sheets. Place in oven and heat until just smoking, about 8 minutes. Carefully tilt heated sheets to coat evenly with oil, then arrange onion rings on sheets.
- Bake, flipping onion rings over and switching and rotating position of baking sheets halfway through baking, until golden brown on both sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer onion rings to plates lined with paper towels to drain briefly. Serve immediately.

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.
