OVEN FRIED ONION RINGS

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups buttermilk
4 eggs
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 large yellow sweet onions, such as Maui, sliced 1/4-to-1/2-inch thick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place parchment paper onto 2 baking sheets and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt. 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 panko, olive oil and remaining 2 teaspoons 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 panko mixture.
  • Arrange on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. You can place smaller rings inside bigger rings if necessary, just make sure there is space between them. Then place in the oven. Cook until golden brown, 14 to 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip over each onion ring to ensure even crisping and browning.

LOW CARB DEEP-FRIED ONION RINGS



Low Carb Deep-fried Onion Rings image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 to 6 cups vegetable oil (more or less depending on pot size)
3 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream or water
3 large yellow onions
2 1/3 cups soy flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Steps:

  • Place a heavy pot over medium-high heat with at least an inch of vegetable oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees F; it is important to monitor and maintain the temperature, or the soy flour breading and your oil will burn. (Portable deep fryers at home are great for this.)
  • In a medium bowl, mix the eggs and cream to make an egg wash. In a separate larger bowl, mix the breading ingredients together.
  • Peel and slice the onions in thick slices and carefully separate the rings. Then dip individual onion rings in the breading, then the egg wash, and then back in the breading again, making sure to coat well. Pat off any excess breading and carefully place into hot oil, in batches as necessary, and fry until golden brown and crisp, just 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline slicer to get evenly-sized onion rings. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the onion rings in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before coating them in the breadcrumb mixture. This will help the breading adhere to the onion rings and make them extra crispy.
  • Use a light hand when coating the onion rings in the breadcrumb mixture. You don't want to pack the breading on too thickly, or it will become greasy and soggy.
  • Bake the onion rings at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for a short amount of time (10-12 minutes). This will help them get crispy without drying out.
  • Serve the onion rings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

These low-fat oven-fried onion rings are a healthier alternative to traditional fried onion rings. They are crispy, flavorful, and easy to make. Serve them as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. Your family and friends will love them!
