1 Video | Photo: Oven Baked Onion Rings Recipe
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.

These were great. I used home made whole wheat bread crumbs. I will make this again.

These were great! After reading the reviews, I did make the suggested changes; used panko instead of chips, cut the cayenne in half, divided the crumbs into two bowls before coating to avoid the crumbs getting too wet and clumpy, and used chopsticks to dip and coat the rings. I dropped the oven temp to 375, and just watched them, turning them and spraying them again at the halfway point. They came out really crunchy and delicious, with tender (not mushy or stringy onion inside. My husband said they were better than deep fried, and he LOVES onion rings. I agreed - they tasted great and I didn't have that sick, "Oh god, what have I eaten?" feeling afterwards. I know, it seems like a lot of modifications to the original recipe, but it was really just tweaking - the jumping off point was a strong recipe. I will definitely make these again.

Surprise, surprise...a yummy onion ring that you don't have to fry! I had some friends over to try new some new "healthier" recipes, and this was one of them. The onion rings came out so good, and everyone was surprised how were crunchy they actually were. My oven runs hot, so I cooked them at 400 degrees & I had to add some panko bread crumbs to the potato chip mixture since "my friends" had eaten a lot of the chips during prep. Other than that, the recipe is a keeper. Thanks Ellie! These were the hit of the party.
