Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
