Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a great weekend. I was busy all weekend but still had time for some family fun, multiple visits to the house and some floor shopping (yet again). In addition to the fun, I put some time in the kitchen and was able to try a fun simple recipe that included ” Baked Onion Rings“.
Who likes Onion Rings? I am a big fan of the onion rings and with this twist – I think you will fall in love too.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups Cornflakes
- 1/2 Cup Plain Breadcrumbs ( dried)
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 Cup Low Fat Buttermilk
- 1 Medium Onion ( Vidalia, Spanish) Sliced and broken into rings
- 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/8 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper
- Coarse Salt and Pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 450 Degrees
- In a food processor, pulse breadcrumbs and cornflakes until fine crumbs form, then transfer to a medium bowl
- In another medium bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, flour, cayenne, and pepper
- Dip onion rings into egg mixture ( letting excess drop off ) and dredge into cornflake mixture; place on a large platter
- Pour oil into rimmed baking sheet and heat in oven for 2 minutes
- Remove sheet from oven and tilt to coat evenly.
- Arrange rings onto sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes turning once or until rings are golden brown.
- Season with salt.
- ENJOY!
Zesty Tip: By oiling the pan and preheating it before placing the rings on the pan – you are eliminating the chance of the rings getting soggy and ensuring a nice crisp exterior.
Quick House Update
It had been raining quite a bit on Sunday when I was planning on getting some updated pictures to share with you. So I apologize, the pictures are limited for now. All I can say though is that we have a roof!
Have a great start to the week and I look forward to hearing your comments.
Take care

Hello! Now I can make onion rings at home, since I don’t really do any deep fat frying here. They look amazing.
Those really look incredibly! Just as if they were deep friend, I will need to try them, thanks for the recipe!
I used to despise onion rings when I was little. Especially when fast food restaurants would sneak one in with the fries! BLEH!
I still haven’t tried onion rings, but now that my tastes have changed, I see myself making these in the very near future!
I’m going to have to try these. They look SO good. I love that these are baked and not fried!
