Description

This recipe is a healthy take on onion rings by baking them instead of frying. Use any kind of onion- white, yellow or red!

Ingredients
  • 1 Onion (medium, sliced into 1/4 inch rings)
  • 2 1/4 cups Buttermilk (low fat)
  • 1/2 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Whole Wheat Crumbs (Italian-seasoned)
  • 1/4 cup Cornflakes (crushed into crumbs)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Olive Oil Spray
Instructions
  1. Place slices of onion in a shallow dish.
  2. Pour the buttermilk over the top and let them soak for about 1 - 2 hours, refrigerated.

  3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  4. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  5. Combine panko, bread crumbs and corn flakes and place half of the crumbs in a large dish, season with salt. Reserve the rest for when the first batch is used up.
    This should help avoid clumping and they should stick better to the onions.
  6. Dip each soaked onion ring into the crumb mixture; coat well.
  7. Place rings onto two cookie sheets.
  8. Lightly spray with oil.
  9. Bake about 12 minutes or until golden brown and serve immediately.
