OMG, I love good onion rings. Nothing rots me more than getting an onion ring at a diner and you feel you can ring them out before eating them. So I started backing them and avoiding that problem and well partly because we don’t own a fryer.
Taking a few onions, slicing them thick, seasoning with salt and pepper and dredging them in a little buttermilk mixture. Then you toss them in some panko bread crumbs and roast them in your oven for 10-15 minutes. Talk about a killer snack that your “peeps” will be fighting for. The crunch and flavor are really a hit with this little rings. I am a bit lame as I like to dip mine in ketchup, but feel free to dip these in whatever your heart desires.
