Yes, it's possible to enjoy onion rings without an insane amount of fat. A high oven temperature gives these flavorful onion rings their extra crispiness. Our version is lightened with low-fat buttermilk and gets an extra pop of flavor thanks to Old Bay seasoning.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

All-purpose flour

cup(s)

1% low fat buttermilk

1 cup(s)

Table salt

½ tsp

Black pepper

½ tsp

Dried plain breadcrumbs

½ cup(s), plain variety

Seafood seasoning

½ tsp, Old Bay variety

Vidalia onion

2 large, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch rounds and separated into 32 rings

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray two large baking sheets with nonstick spray.
  2. Put the flour in a large zip-close plastic bag. Whisk together the buttermilk, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Combine the bread crumbs and Old Bay seasoning in a large shallow bowl.
  3. Add the onion rings, a few at a time, to the flour and shake to coat. Dip the rings, one at a time, in the buttermilk mixture, then coat with the bread crumbs, transferring the rings as they are coated to the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden and crispy, about 20 minutes.
  4. Serving size: 8 onion rings
