side dishes | The secret to oven-fried food with “fried food” flavor is seasoned coatings and a HOT oven. Use this technique for chicken and vegetables, too.

Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp dry mustard, or mustard powder 1/4 tsp table salt2 large onion(s), Spanish, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds 1/2 cup buttermilk1 cup seasoned bread crumbs1 serving cooking spray, olive oil flavored, or enough to coat onions

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.In a large bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, mustard powder and salt. Add onions and toss to coat.Pour buttermilk into a large bowl, add onions and toss to coat (use your hands for the best result).Place bread crumbs in a separate large bowl, add onions and toss to coat. Transfer onions to prepared baking sheet and spray with olive oil cooking spray.Bake until golden brown, 35 minutes. Serve hot. Yields about 1/2 an onion per serving.

Chef Tips

We renovated Onion Rings by:

Using naturally low in fat buttermilk instead of whole milk or whole eggs.

Baking instead of deep-frying.

Adding seasonings to the flour to boost flavor.
