Crispy Oven Baked Onion Rings image

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 :)

Categories     Onions

Time 50m

Yield 14 rings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

canola oil cooking spray
2 cups breadcrumbs, panko
2 cups baked potato chips, plain
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 -2 large vidalia onion, peeled

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.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but I loved these onion rings. They were so crispy and flavorful.

I didn't have any buttermilk, so I used milk instead. The onion rings still turned out great!

These onion rings were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I love that this recipe uses panko breadcrumbs. They give the onion rings a really nice crunch.

I've tried many onion ring recipes, but this one is by far the best. The coating is perfectly crispy and the onions are cooked to perfection.

These onion rings were a huge hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavor was amazing. I'll definitely be making these again.
