Finally a delicious and healty way to enjoy onion rings. They were a little time consuming to make (since I didn't run to Popeye's to get them, but they were worth it! My family loved them. and my grandson wants to help make them the next time (which won't be too far in the future!

I was initially skeptical that an oven baked onion ring would be good, but I decided to give it a try...

I made them exactly as the recipe except I left out the cayenne. Also, I made a few extra using panko and some using crushed corn flakes. I found it hard to get the potato chips to stick to the buttermilk mixture. You need to grind the potato chips down to very fine crumbs.

I baked them at 450 for 20 minutes like the recipe said and they came out perfect - brown, crispy, and the onions were tender.

I would definitely do these again, but I would just use panko sprayed with a generous amount of oil. The rings I made using the panko crumbs tasted the most like fried onion rings. The corn flake ones just tasted like the cereal and the potato chip ones just tasted like potato chips.

I am so glad I use the advice from previous comments. I baked my rings at 350, I used Panko bread crumbs. I should not have used the cayenne pepper. Overall, it is a keeper I just will eliminate the cayennne pepper. It's not that its too spicy, it just "takes away" from the flavor of the Vidalia onion. Thanks everyone for your helpful comments.

I have a small cooking class for people that have had strokes or are in wheel chairs, im always looking for healthy, simple, alternative, recipes this one blew me away. This is the second recipe I?ve tried from Ellie she is GREAT. I did kick up the flavor and used parmesan and herb baked chips. About the chips not sticking it?s because you handle them too much, only hold them in one spot the whole time and you won?t have a problem. That?s with any onion rings you make.

I love onion rings, but my waistline doesn't love them. Finally, an onion ring that my waistline likes! I don't tend to keep any type of potato chip on hand, so I used plain Special K. It worked fabulously! It gave it a hint of flavor that resembled Burger King's onion rings that I enjoyed when I was a kid. What I love about these is that the dry spice really kicks up in the baking, so you can add any dry minced/ground spice you like to get whatever flavor you desire without the fat of deep frying.

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.

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.

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!
