I love love love onion rings, unfortunately I can't make them too often (or at all) because they are soooo incredibly unhealthy doe to deep frying them. Well problem solved! I finally figured out a way to oven fry union rings... And honestly... I like them way more then the last food fried ones!
Ingredients: - 1 large Vidalia onion
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 3/4 cup cornflake crumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Slice the onion and separate into rings.
- Place in a shallow bowl and pour the buttermilk over the onion rings.
- Chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the corn flake crumbs, garlic powder, parsley, cumin, black pepper and salt in a medium bowl.
- Mix to combine.
- Measure 2 tablespoons of the corn flake mixture and place on a plate.
- Remove one onion ring from the buttermilk and coat with the corn flake mixture.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining onion rings, adding corn flake mixture 1 tablespoon at a time as needed.
- Spray coated rings lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Bake on the bottom rack of the oven until cooked through and crispy, 15-20 minutes.
