Categories     Appetizer

Time 18m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large sweet onion ((I like Vidalia, but you can really use whatever))
olive oil spray
1/2 cup arrowroot powder
2 tsp paprika
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1.5 tsp sugar ((optional) )
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 egg
1 tbsp mayonnaise ((optional))

Steps:

  • Heat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Mix together all the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Mix together the wet ingredients in another bowl.
  • Slice the onion to make rings that are about 3/4 of an inch wide. Peel the skin from each ring and carefully separate the rings from each other.
  • One at a time, take each ring and dip it into the wet mix. Then drip it into the dry. Coat it well, but make sure to tap all the excess back into the bowl. Place the ring on the baking tray.
  • When all the rings are coated, spray the rings with olive oil spray. You want to coat them, but not get too much. Flip them over and spray the other side.
  • Pop them into the oven. Check them after 9 or 10 mins and flip them over. Cook for an additional 4 mins or so.
  • Take them out and serve them right away.

CRISPY BAKED ONION RINGS



Crispy Baked Onion Rings image

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside without getting soggy. You won't even realize these onion rings are baked!

Provided by Sally

Categories     Appetizers

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large sweet onions, cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 quart (950ml) low fat buttermilk*
4 egg whites
2/3 cup (85g) whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
3/4 cup (125g) ground cornmeal
1 cup (60g) Panko bread crumbs*
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
nonstick spray like PAM, olive oil spray, or coconut oil spray (found mine at Trader Joe's)

Steps:

  • At least 4 hours ahead of time, place the sliced onion rings into a large dish and pour buttermilk overtop. You don't have to drown the onions, just make sure they are somewhat submerged. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator. In this step, you are soaking the onions, which will tenderize them. I strongly suggest soaking them for at least 12 hours for the best taste. I soaked mine overnight.
  • Once the onions have soaked, remove from the refrigerator. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites. Set aside. In a large shallow dish (I used a pie dish), mix the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, bread crumbs, and the seasonings together until combined.
  • Remove each ring from the buttermilk and dip in egg whites. Immediately submerge in the bread crumb mixture, mixing around to coat the onion well. If the bread crumbs won't adhere, dip in egg whites and then the breading again. If you find you need more breading, make more.
  • Lay each breaded ring on the baking sheets in a single layer. You'll have two batches if your onions were quite large like mine. When all the rings are breaded, spray each with nonstick spray to "seal" the breading, which will prevent the breading from staying raw and allows it to bake onto the onion rings.
  • Bake each batch for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and flip each ring using tongs. Spray the other side with nonstick spray. Then bake for 15 more minutes. A note about bake time: all ovens are different! And everyone likes a different level of crispiness. I baked my onion rings in my oven for 30 minutes, rotating and flipping once, and they were perfectly brown and crisp. Just bake the rings until they reach your desired level of brownness.
  • Allow the onion rings to sit out for 10 minutes before digging in. Enjoy immediately.

CRISPY OVEN BAKED ONION RINGS



Crispy Oven Baked Onion Rings image

I am trying to stay healthy, but sometimes you like a burger and some onion rings, right?!?! Well, here's what I came up with for the onion rings. I have used all panko bread crumbs when I didn't have any baked potato chips, and all baked potato chips when I felt naughty, and they are all good. I usually just make this recipe for the 2 of us, and we don't have many leftover if any.....and my husband doesn't normally order rings when we are out! Let me know which way you like best :)

Provided by CookingBlues

Categories     Onions

Time 50m

Yield 14 rings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

canola oil cooking spray
2 cups breadcrumbs, panko
2 cups baked potato chips, plain
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 -2 large vidalia onion, peeled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and spray it slightly with oil and set aside.
  • Place potato chips and panko bread crumbs 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 mixture and place on baking sheet. NOTE: For those having problems with the coating not sticking, the secret is LET THEM REST! Don't just throw them in the oven from the coating! Give them at least 5-10 minutes to soak in all that good coating you just put on and they'll stick just fine.
  • Spray canola oil evenly over rings and bake for 20 minutes, or until coating is crisp. Season with salt, to taste, and serve immediately.

Crispy Oven-Baked Onion Rings: Pro Recipes with a Step-by-Step Guide

Preparation
  • For perfectly crispy and golden-crumbled outsides, ensure your three primary coatings are at the right temperature. This includes your egg batter, milk, and bread crumb mixture.
  • Combine bread crumbs, salt, and paprika in a small, flat-bottomed dish for even tossing and proper adhesion to the onions.
  • Beat the egg and milk mixture in a separate bowl until combined and fothy. This combination acts as an adhesive for the bread crumbs.
Fritters
  • Slice and separate your onions into large concentric slices that are easier to coat. This will prevent the fritters from disintegrating when you toss them in your various coatings.
  • Make sure your onions are as dry as possible before you start the breading process. Any additional water content can affect the adhesion of your coatings, leading to inconsistent coverage.
  • Let the coated slices rest on a metal wire to firm up a little before frying. This will help them maintain their shape and structure.
Cooking Methods
  • For frying, keep the oil at 350°F to ensure an even golden-crisp texture. A consistent temperature allows for controlled cooking without scorching. Maintaining this temperature helps cook the insides of the fritters without overcooking the outsides.
  • Pan-fritters require constant flipping. This is the only way to achieve a uniform golden crispiness. You need to ensure that both sides are exposed to the same amount of heat for the same duration.
  • For the baked version, ensure your breadcrumbs and seasoning mixture is properly fastened to your fritters. If any parts have become uncovered during the tossing process, re-coat them before tossing them into the hot oil.

Conclusion

With the right ratios, techniques, and a little attention, you can create delectable, crispy, crunchy, and flavorful crispy treats. If you're in the culinary industry, these tips and tricks will come in handy for your wonderful creations!
