Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup low fat buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 large yellow sweet onions (such as Maui, sliced ¼-to-½- thick)
  • Cooking spray

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place baking paper onto 2 baking sheets and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, smoked paprika, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • In another bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add half of the flour mixture to the buttermilk and beat until smooth and thickened.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, and remaining teaspoon of salt.
  • Lightly dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture and then drop into the buttermilk. Drain the excess batter and then dredge in the breadcrumbs. For a thicker coating, chill the coated onion rings for one hour and then repeat this step (as I did).
  • Arrange on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. You can place smaller rings inside bigger ones if necessary, just make sure there is space between them.
  • Spray generously with the cooking spray.
  • Bake 20 to 30 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip over each onion ring over and spray with cooking spray to ensure even crisping and browning.
