Low Fat Baked Onion Rings & Amazing Sauce Recipe

I have been seeing a few recipes for baked onion rings and thought I better try one. My husband and I LOVE onion rings.

Whenever we go out, we just have to get some. I combined a few of the recipes I had seen and came up with these (and they were SO GOOD). They would be perfect at a summer BBQ or just as a delicious snack.

We make these with our hamburgers all year long, and during the winter, I snack on them and dream of winter.

They are so fresh, crisp, and I honestly like them more than the deep fried stuff.

They don’t leave my stomach feeling funny, and are full of more rich onion flavor, but not too overpowering.

Could I use any salty cracker?

This recipe calls for Ritz crackers, however, you could totally replace it with other crackers that you have on hand.

We recommend using a butter based cracker. Here are a few of our favorite:

-Club Crackers
-Zips
-Saltine Crackers
-Flips
-Pretzels
-Triscuits
-White Cheddar Wheat Thins

2 ¼ cups whole milk
½ cup Panko Bread crumbs

½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
1 ½ cups brown sugar
6 Tablespoons buffalo sauce hot
4 Tablespoons water

Instructions

Place sliced onions and milk in a bowl and let soak for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 450. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Combine panko, bread crumbs, crushed cracker crumbs, salt, pepper, oregano and cayenne pepper.
Place half of crumb mixture in a bowl and reserve the other half for later to avoid clumping and to stick better to the onions.
Dip each soaked onion ring into mixture and coat both sides with crumb mixture.
Place rings onto baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and the onion is soft. Serve immediately. Mix brown sugar, buffalo sauce and water in saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.

Baking spray -- didn't see mention of it in recipe. I'm guessing you spray the rings before baking?
Michelle says:

Wow, another yummy! My husband would love these!! So have to make for him.
Six Sisters says:

Yes, you spray the rings before baking. Sorry about that!
John, Terri, Addie and Inara says:

tried them, they weren't crispy but very soggy. the breading barely stuck to the onions. i followed recipe exactly, and i did use cooking spray on the rings before baking. bummer. i noticed no one has posted a comment AFTER making them, just that they WANT to. oh well. it was worth the try nonetheless.

Oh I sprayed the parchment paper! Whoops. Came out great though anyway. :) I cut the rings too thin though, so next time, more thicker like your picture.
