Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large yellow onions
- 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Peel and slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings and separate them into individual layers.
In a shallow bowl, pour the buttermilk. In another shallow bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In a third shallow bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Shake off excess flour.
Next, dip the floured onion ring into the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off.
Finally, coat the onion ring in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Repeat with remaining onion rings.
Place the coated onion rings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack. Ensure they don’t overlap so they cook evenly.
Lightly spray the onion rings with cooking spray to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then carefully flip the onion rings and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite WW-friendly dipping sauce!
