- Skinny Baked Onion Ring's
- 1 sweet yellow onion cut into rings
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3 cups crushed Corn Flakes
- cooking spray
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Directions
- In a large bowl, add the flour. In another large bowl, add the buttermilk, egg white, and seasonings and whisk to combine. Add the crushed coating to a gallon size zip lock bag.
- Dip each onion ring into the flour, then into the buttermilk, and add to the zip lock bag. Work in small batches (I put about 5 onion rings in the bag at a time), then seal it and shake well to coat. Place the coated onion rings on a non-stick baking sheet in a single layer. Repeat for the rest of the onion rings.
- Spray the coated onion rings with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes, or until crispy. Enjoy!
