One of my favorite foods, hands down, is
onion rings! I know they have the tendency to give you bad breath, but it's soo worth it! I don't know why I love them so much, but I do, it's a problem of mine:) I found some delicious looking home-made onion ring recipes to try on Pinterest and the one I chose was this one from
Annie's Eats:)
I changed it up just a tiny bit because I couldn't find one of the ingredients it called for!
Ingredients:
1/2 C of flour divided
1 large egg
1/2 C of buttermilk
1/4 tsp. of cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 sleeves of vegetable Ritz crackers
4 C of kettle cooked potato chips
2 large onions
6 tbsp of canola oil
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a shallow baking dish, such as a bowl, measure 1/4 of a cup of flour. Grab another bowl and mix together the egg and buttermilk. Next add in your remaining dry ingredients ( flour, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper). Take out your food processor and put in the Ritz crackers and the potato chips until they are finely ground.

Put in food processor

I have to say, this was my first time using our food processor and I've had it since our wedding in July! It took me a while to figure this thing out! When I did though, it worked wonderfully:) Take your Ritz and potato chip mixture and place in a casserole dish. Slice your onions to about 1/2 inch thick. Dip your onions into the flour then into the liquid mixture. Lastly, dip it into the crumb mixture and place on to a greased pizza/cookie sheet pan!

Dip into different mixtures |
When pan is full, set timer for 8 minutes and then after the time is up flip your onion rings over. Then set the timer for another 8 minutes. They are ready to serve and enjoy:):)

Still need to plate |

Ready to Serve!!!!

Hope you have a fantastic day:)

Until next time!!!!!
was checking out the onions rings you wanted to make. These look so good. I love onion rings and never care if they give me bad breath because they are so worth eating! Loving that you found a healthier alternative.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was happy that I found one that didn't have to be fryed! At home, I try not to do that, just to make it a little healthier and because I hate the smell that frying leaves behind!
DeleteThese look so good. I have done baked onion rings before with breadcrumbs and flour, but your toppings look so much yummier!
ReplyDeleteI bet bread crumbs would be tasty too:)
DeleteOh wow. YUM!! Pinning these :)
ReplyDeletePin away:):):)

Happy Thursday!
Thanks Taylor! I will definitely have to do that:)
DeleteYum--I'm an onion ring fan too, but have never tried baking them. I'm intrigued by the crumbs in the coating!!
ReplyDelete(picked you as a fave from the Ginger Snap Craft's party :)
That just made my day! Thanks for that:) I was afraid by baking the onion rings that they wouldn't get crunchy, but with the crumb coating they did!
