Re: Baked Onion Rings

I do mine using panko crumbs instead of bread crumbs. Much crunchier!

Re: Baked Onion Rings

I looked for panko bread crumbs today at WM. I reckon if they had em, they would be around the other bread crumb stuff?

Go to any asian store - you're guaranteed to find it there. It may be called Japanese breading or Japanese bread crumbs.

Re: Baked Onion Rings

I buy them at hy-vee or food 4 less. Actually, Hy-vee didn't have them, so I requested that they start selling them and lo and behold a couple months later they were on the shelf.

They are with the bread crumbs in our stores. Kikoman brand.

This is in the new "Cooking Light Complete Cookbook" I picked up at Wal-Mart today. I love battered onion rings, over breaded. Of course, I have not tried these keep in mind!!

Beer-Battered Onion Rings

If you don't have an open can of beer in your refrigerator, flatten the suds you need for this batter by measuring 1/2 cup beer in a small bowl and stirring with a fork. You'll have about 1/3 cup flat beer.

Prep: 15 min
Cook: 25 min

2 large onions, peeled
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup flat beer
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1-1/2 tbsp canola oil, divided
Cooking spray
1/4 cup ketchup

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Cut onions crosswise into 3/4" thick slices, and seperate into rings. Use 16 largest rings, reserve remaining onion for another use. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, level with a knife. combine flour, salt, paprika, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in beer and egg white (batter will be thick). Heat 1-1/2 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dip 5 onion rings into batter, letting excess drip off. Add onion rings to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Place onion rings on a jell-roll pan. Repeat procedure of dipping onion rings in batter and cooking in remaining oil, ending with 5 rings. Coat onion rings with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until crisp. Serve rings with ketchup. Yield: 4 servings (serving size; 4 onion rings and 1 tbsp ketchup)

Re: Baked Onion Rings

SHAZZZZZAAAAAAMMMMMM. I finally found the panko bread crumbs. They were in the oriental section and not the flour, cornmeal, bread crumb section. Thank you all.

I saw this recipe done on PBS (Everyday Food). They looked yummy and very easy.

Baked Onion Rings

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Yield Serves 4
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups cornflakes
1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
1 large egg
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia, quartered crosswise and broken into rings (discard small center rings)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor, pulse cornflakes and breadcrumbs until fine crumbs form, then transfer to a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, flour, and cayenne and season with salt and pepper.

2. Dip onion rings in egg mixture (letting excess drip off) and dredge in cornflake mixture; place on a large plate. Pour oil onto a rimmed baking sheet. Place in oven and heat 2 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and tilt to coat evenly with oil. Arrange onion rings on sheet. Bake, turning once, until onion rings are golden brown, about 16 minutes. Season with salt.
Hope these work for you too.
