Ingredients

Cooking spray
4 cups baked potato chips
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup lowfat buttermilk
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 to 2 large Vidalia onions, peeled

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Spray a baking sheet slightly with oil and set aside. Place potato chips in the bowl of a food processor and process into crumbs, about 20 seconds. Transfer to a shallow bowl, add cayenne, and set aside. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper and set aside. Slice onions into 1/2-inch circles and separate into rings, keeping only large, whole rings (reserve rest of onions for other uses). You should come out with about 12 to 14 rings.

Place the remaining flour in a sealable plastic bag, then add onions, and shake to coat. Dip onions 1 at a time into the buttermilk mixture, then dip into potato chip crumbs and place on baking sheet. Spray canola oil evenly over rings and bake for 20 minutes, or until coating is crisp. Season with salt, to taste, and serve immediately.

DELICIOUS
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These were delicious. I substituted the baked chips with wheat bread crumbs and it was fab. The cayenne gives it an extra... kick. I will cook this again soon.Read more

Almost better than Frying...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These were good, not great. I agree with other members, 20 minutes at 450? will burn them up quickly. Next time I will... lower the temp. to 350? & keep an eye on them. I loved the crispiness of the them for being baked, though they did lack some flavor. I believe there is room to experiment.Read more

Tasty and Guilt-free
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were great! We didn't have chips, so I used corn flakes and crushed them the old fashioned way in a plastic bag with a... rolling pin. Added some spices to the crumbs, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly -as well as the recommendation to let them sit for a few minutes before putting them in the oven and lowering the temperature slightly. Next time I will lower the heat even more to try a longer cooking time that might carmelize the onions a little more. Otherwise, my husband and friends liked them and said the recipe was a keeper!Read more

Can't get enough!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe except that I turned the oven down a bit to 425 ? and they are perfect! Just as good as the deep fried... version. I will definitely make them over and over.Read more

Satisfies My Craving for Onion Rings
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made these several times and really enjoy them. I love onion rings but feel guilty eating the fried ones so now I can... have my onion rings without the guilt. I do find they take a bit of labor but, to me, they are worth it. I also kick up the cayenne pepper! Read more
