Baked Onion Rings

 

These are quite simple to make, and I love that they are baked instead of fried. One large onion is the perfect amount for our family.

Low Fat Baked Onion Rings

1 medium onion, sliced into 1/4 inch rings
1 cup flour
2 cups low fat buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black peper
1 cup Italian Seasoned bread crumbs(Whole wheat bread crumbs work great here too)
1/2 cup crushed Crispy Rice cereal
olive oil baking spray


Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray baking sheet with olive oil baking spray.

Place onion slices in a large Ziploc bag with the flour, shake to coat well.

In a shallow dish, add buttermilk, salt and pepper, and mix well.

In another shallow dish, add bread crumbs and Crispy Rice cereal.

Working with one onion ring at a time, shake off excess flour from one ring, and place in buttermilk, then into the crumb mixture and cover well, carefully pressing the mixture on with your hand. Gently place on prepared baking pan. Continue with the rest of the onion rings. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and bake for 15-20 minutes till golden and crispy. Serve immediately.
Dip each soaked onion ring into the crumb mixture; coat well. Place rings onto two cookie sheets. Lightly spray with oil. Bake about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
